(Beaver County, PA) Residents in Beaver Falls, Chippewa and other communities served by the Beaver Falls Municipal Authority have reported unusual odors and tastes in their drinking water for more than a week. 

Multiple residents told WPXI that their water has had an unpleasant smell and taste. 

The Borough of Zelienople, which receives water from the Beaver Falls Municipal Authority, said in a Facebook post last Thursday that officials were aware of the issue. 

According to the authority’s website, crews began routine flushing of water lines yesterday. 

The authority said residents with questions about the flushing process can call 724-846-2400 during regular business hours from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
