MUNCIE, Ind. (WISH) — Some customers in Muncie may notice an earthy or musty taste or odor in their water, according to a Facebook post from Indiana American Water. Analytical testing shows that it’s due to MIB (2 methylisoborneol), which is a naturally occurring compound linked to algae activity in surface water sources like Prairie Creek Reservoir. But, this week’s water testing results confirm that the water is safe to drink, as it meets all state and federal drinking water standards, according to Indiana American Water. “We have also seen improvement in reservoir conditions through Friday, April 10.
