How Does Sulfur Get Into Water?
Naturally Occurring in Groundwater
Hydrogen sulfide may form underground and dissolve into well water, especially in low-oxygen conditions.
Bacteria in Wells or Plumbing
Certain bacteria may produce sulfur odors inside wells, pressure tanks, or parts of the plumbing system.
Water Heater Reactions
Older or poorly functioning water heaters may create odors when magnesium anode rods react with sulfur bacteria.
Municipal Water Sources
Though less common, some city water supplies may pick up sulfur odors during distribution.
