Water now has an awful taste which it shouldn't because its water! Water doesn't have a taste. Also there is an odor which I feel the plastic bottle but you can smell it each time from the first sip you take. But you can even smell it when you just place the bottle near your nose. Just awful all around now! I also find it extremely ridiculous and frustrating that I have to keep writing stuff because Poland Spring will not let me post my review unless it is over 100 words. They probably hope that someone who is providing a complaint in review form will just give up because honestly there is only so much you can say before it becomes repetitive.
