Questions About Kilgore Water

KILGORE — The water in Kilgore has developed a bad taste and odor and an unusual color. City officials tell KETK-TV the problem can be traced back to the dry weather. Kilgore officials say the bad smell and taste results when the Sabine river gets low and algae grows. Kilgore City Manager, Jeff Howell says nature has to work out this problem. And he says even though the water doesn’t taste or smell that great, it is safe to drink.
