Why Does My Water Smell Like Rotten Eggs?

A rotten-egg odor often points to hydrogen sulfide gas or sulfur-related bacteria. If the smell appears from both hot and cold faucets, it may originate in the water supply or well. If it occurs only in hot water, the water heater, its anode rod, or bacteria inside the tank may be involved. A water test will reveal exactly what is causing your water to smell like rotten eggs.
