Too many San Diegans smelled something funky last week when they turned on their water faucets. Turns out there was something funky growing in nearby Lake.
Some San Diegans say their water has been tasting funny lately, and it’s not their imagination. There is something in the water, but the city says it’s not harmful and it's only temporary.

Earlier this year, the city of San Diego filed a lawsuit against San Diego Gas & Electric in a dispute over the utility’s underground infrastructure obstructing the construction of a $1.4 billion water recycling project.
Now, a second and separate lawsuit has been filed on behalf of a San Diego resident claiming an agreement between the city and SDG&E to help get the project started is illegal.
At issue is the Pure Water San Diego Program, a project designed to reduce ocean pollution and increase the city’s water supply. The dispute centers on existing SDG&E equipment that is obstructing a portion of the project. The city says SDG&E should pick up the tab for moving the infrastructure but the utility has refused.
