The last two large bottles of water I have put on my dispenser, have had a strange earthy taste, the dispenser is cleaned regularly, anybody else had a problem with this?

What a coincidence, I said exactly the same yesterday. We buy Koy Su from Starlings in Alsancak. I thought it might be down to the fact that we're not getting through anything like as much as we do in the summer.

Ha ha they are probably filled from village wells, I do not know how much control there is here.
They do not seem to reuse the plastic bottles on the Greek side you see people with whole trolleys full of water.

Oh hell, I wonder just how many dead cats and dogs have been chucked down the village well Starlings buy theirs from. I think a word with the Boss might be in the offing.

For peace of mind, call into any of the medical laboratories and ask for a couple of sampling jars. They will give a report on what they find in the water approximate cost 80 TL.

Blimey! I would drink the new mains water in preference to koy su... but for bidons we have always used Cemer Su brand.
