TAP WATER. During warmer months, tap water in the area has a sulfur smell due to higher levels of hydrogen sulfide from natural sulfur in groundwater. This is the water for showers as well. Here is information from Google:
Tap water in Panama City Beach, Florida, is most frequently reported to smell bad during late spring, summer, and early fall (May through October). During these warmer months, a strong "rotten egg" (sulfur) or chlorine smell is most common due to natural sulfur compounds in Florida's groundwater interacting with rising temperatures.
Sulfur / Rotten Egg Odor: This is most intense during the summer months. Naturally occurring hydrogen sulfide gas is common in Florida's groundwater. When water temperatures rise, sulfur bacteria in local plumbing or water heaters break down these compounds, releasing that distinct smell.
