Why does my water smell like rotten eggs and how did it get there? If you notice this smell in your drinking water, it probably contains hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas. Hydrogen sulfide gas produces a strong and unpleasant ârotten eggâ or âsulfurâ odor and taste. In some cases, the odor may be present only when the water is first turned on or when hot water is run.
