It is called hydrogen sulfide, and 40% of all well water has it.

Sulfur is generally the cause of that rotten egg smell, but it could be something else. Sulfur can get into your water in many ways, especially if you don't use tap water. If this is a new occurence and your water has never had this smell before you can see if someone would check it out, as there may be a leak in a pipe or something. A fun fact: high concentrations of sulfur in the water supply can be caused by volcanic activity.

It is the high sulphur content in the water.
You can ask your boss to install a charcoal filter on the sink and that should take care of the problem.

most likely, your boss is right. Sulfur is probably the culprit. A new water filter should fix that.

He is probably right. If not, it is still in the well and lots of it. It is very costly too to correct.
