Some people living in Puslinch are having to plug their noses in their own homes because of the smelly water coming from their pipes.
Some people living in Puslinch are having to plug their noses in their own homes because of the smelly water coming from their pipes.
From the kitchen sink to the shower, several residents have voiced concerns online about a suspicious stench.
"It's a very pungent odour," said Susan Fielding, who lives near Highway 401.
It's approaching the two-week mark since she started saying "pee-ew."
"It has a rotten vegetable-type smell," said Fielding.
Her family isn't drinking the water and she says many neighbours aren't taking the risk with showering. She estimates about 25 homes are stuck with the stench based on who she's talked to and posts she's seen online.
"It's people as far down as 500 metres down Highway 6 on both the east and the west side," said Fielding.
