Sulfur Treatment
Sulfur is a yellowish solid chemical element. Sulfur water is a water containing objective amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas, which causes an offensive “rotten egg” or “skunky” odor. Hydrogen sulfide, also known as sulfur, is a corrosive and flammable gas often found dissolved in well water in our area. Hydrogen sulfide develops from decaying organic matter, from sulfate reducing bacteria and from petroleum refining. The odor is present when you open the spigot because the gas is being oxidized by the oxygen in the air.
