Some of the water coming out of Topeka faucets currently tastes and smells bad, Topeka’s city government acknowledged Tuesday. Still, the tap water the city provides remains safe to drink and meets all drinking water standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said Molly Hadfield, the city’s media relations coordinator. A flood of citizen complaints — about 40 over two days, according to Hadfield — prompted the city to put out a news release late Tuesday morning saying the city’s drinking water was experiencing “an issue with taste and odor.”
