    Off lately our tap water has been smelling funny - not exactly pungent but on the same lines. I live in Apartment block in D-7, anybody else has noticed this?
    have told the missus to boil the drinking water just in case.

    Water goes in your mouth, not your nose

    It's probably just increased chlorination, sometimes the result of waterworks. If you leave a glass alone for 15 minutes and the smell is gone, that's what it is. It's harmless, but some people (myself included) dislike the taste, and just leave water sitting for a while to get rid of it.

    Ah we live in a apt and we don't have attic :D, Also I thought the drinking water comes straight from the main line rather than the tank.

    Oh there's a tank alright, in the building's attic, and there's a body in there. Mark my words.
