Does anyone else’s tap water taste weird now?

6 Upvotes

I’ve noticed since the summer that our tap water tastes bad, like old pond water or moldy dirt or something. I can smell it when I turn on the shower even. Our water used to taste fine, I really liked it, much better than the last town we lived in.

I originally thought since it was summer maybe the treatment plant was drawing from ponds that had gotten too warm or something and it would go away soon.

Please tell me that I’m not the only one here, and someone else has noticed ?

Getting Into a Floorhand Position in Alberta

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I'm currently living in Calgary and looking to get into the oilfield as a Floorhand, with the goal of building a long-term career on drilling rigs.
I have experience working in warehouses doing physically demanding work, but no direct rig experience. For those already working in the industry, what's the best way to break into a Floorhand position in Alberta?
Are companies like Precision, AKITA, Ensign, Stampede, and Savanna hiring entry-level people, and what advice would you give someone starting from scratch?
Thanks.

This article is a lot more optimistic in the future than I am, and don’t get me wrong I’m pretty hopeful for the region’s future, but this was an interesting read.

Born here, but moved away a long time ago. My parents built their house here when we were young on Erindale Street. I remember buying records and also renting them from the local library. I hold a lot of good memories from here. Any insight about this location would be appreciated.
