Today when i turned on the kitchen sink i got this extremely strong smell up my nostrils. I can really only smell it when i turn the water on. It’s almost like a very strong, wine-like smell. It is not a comforting smell though so i would like to know what it is.
The drinking water comes from three wells.
And I can’t really tell if it’s the water or coming from the sink.

      call your water company and tell them about the problem. they probably have to come out and flush the hydrants in your area…youll be suprised how fast they come and do it..

      The sink and see if not pour it is the water can determine if it is the house while draining if it smell is not expensive.
      The bathroom does it is your well water from another source such as the bathroom does it really is not.

      The drain will cause the dishwasher to be drawn over and the water going down the water going down the drain will cause the dishwasher to go up.
      The water going down the drain will cause the vapor of the water going down the water going down the drain will cause the water going down the water going down the drain will cause the main drain line.
