I am a former Water Commission. The funny taste this time of year comes from a natural process. During the summe water at the top of the pond is warmer than the water at the bottom of the pond. When we start having the cool days of autumn, the water at the top starts getting cooler, so it sinks to the bottom and the warmer water from the bottom of the pond rises to the top. This is called “turnover”. So the organics stirred up by the autumn turnover is what is making the water taste a little more like a more like a mossy bucket.
