# Well Water Smells Like Rotten Eggs in Greenville County, SC

Some homes on wells in Greenville County notice a rotten egg smell from the tap. It often comes from hydrogen sulfide gas or bacteria in the well or water heater.

- Check whether the smell is only in hot water, which often points to the water heater.
- If both hot and cold water smell, the source is more likely the well itself.
- Have the water tested so you know what you are dealing with before buying equipment.
- Ask a local plumber about the water heater anode rod or treatment options.
