From the post:

>Residents in two small Ohio cities have been left infuriated after they were told it's safe to drink tap water that smells like mold and resembles urine. Last week, officials in Talmadge and Akron - both about two hours outside of Columbus - told locals they are aware of the foul smelling water, but there is no need for concern. 'Though noticeable, especially in hot water, the water is safe to drink, cook with, and use for bathing and pets,' the city of Talmadge wrote in a Facebook post on July 23. Meanwhile, Akron Mayor Shammas Malik notified its 85,000 residents that 6,600 of them had high levels of Haloacetic Acids (HAA5), a disinfection byproduct, in their water.
