Re: [GSAS-Member] Spring Water Weirdness???

I believe that Seattle gets it's water from the Cedar River or Tolt  
Reservoirs depending on if you are north or south of Lake Union.  I  
haven't noticed anything different but my first thought was some sort  
of bloom as well that could trigger a change.
