What better way to lift the spirits of the community by including a lovely scent in the local water supply, particularly on special occasions.
Take Valentine's Day for instance - you wake up, force yourself out of bed, and begin your regular morning routine, having forgotten about the special day.
You turn on the tap, and the sweet smell of rosewater hits you - "Oh, it's Valentine's Day!". Christmas, New Year, Thanksgiving, etc. could all have their own unique scents.
Of course, the scents would be completely non-toxic and not too pervasive (Rosewater would be perfect). It would be nice, since anywhere you use water would possess the lovely scent - the bathroom sink, the kitchen, the shower, the toilet, and so on.

And today, it smells of fish. |

I hope your tap water doesn't smell of chlorine. Do you mean fluoride? |
|
| |
Nope, AFAIK, most of the water I drink is disinfected with chlorine or chlorine compounds. There is often a faint residual smell. |
|

Why not instead have piped muzak? I'm
sure that transducers at the local
pumping stations could ensure that, on
Valentine's day, your pipes would
resonate to the sound of something
appropriately gushy.

Don't forget to dye it pink. |

What about people in fortunate countries that might want to drink the water? |
|
| |
what about hangover scent?? |
|
| |
Mine often smells of chlorine too. (I drink bottled water) |
|
| |
What about those of us that drink from the tap? |
|
| |
Hmmm... I just changed from [-] to [+].
Interesting what 3 years must have done to my
outlook, but I like this idea now. |

But I still think you should dye it pink. |
