Odessa residents may receive a week of free water due to concerns about the water supply. The city's water has been found to have an unpleasant odor, which residents first noticed on July 23. The odor has been described in various ways, with some comparing it to fish, sulfur, or sewage.

Despite the odor, the water supply is considered safe. Further information about the situation and the city's response is available from the Odessa City Council, which has released water testing data to address concerns about the water supply.
