We had a similar situation in the past after we built in a new subdivision. There were few houses in the subdivision and we were toward the end on the water line. Seems microorganisms die off in stagnant water pipes in warm weather when the flow rate in the pipe is low. Such could be the case in the normal slow down of visitors on the lake. All water authorities around the lake, with the possible exception of Parker Creek, get their water from either Alex City or Elmore County systems which get water from Lake Martin, and the lake seems to have had a high level of algae this year. Dying microorganisms may be the source of the stink. Call your water company and tell them they need to drain their pipes in your area.
