Residents in Sydney’s south-west report a strong chlorine smell coming from tap water and say it affects their skin. Multiple local outlets cite community complaints describing strong odours and personal reactions after using the water.
Outlets present the issue as an ongoing public concern raised by households, with some residents linking the smell to skin irritation or other adverse effects. The reports reflect accounts from affected residents rather than confirmed findings about the cause or the scale of any problem. Details on testing results, whether levels are within guidelines, and what water authority response is being taken are not included in the excerpts provided.
