It is all over Wuxi now: the tap water smells awful. The water in Wuxi comes from shallow and polluted Lake Taihu, and they say there is no inexpensive way to clean the Lake.
Justin, at school, who I had originally complained to about the water, came to me yesterday to complain about the tap water at the school. "The water smells like shit!!" he said.
This morning, the wife asked me to buy some bottled water from the nearby supermarket. Doing my duty, I went but I saw all the bottled water in the supermarket and in the nearby convenience stores had been sold out.
The wife told me that the bad smelling water had been reported on CCTV9, the English TV channel here. CCTV9 said the smell was caused by seaweed in the lake.
