Welcome to Beesource!
The answer may partly depend on how much sulfur is in the water. Is the water considered potable (safe for human consumption)?
Reports are that bees like many kinds of smelly water, including swimming pool water, compost runoff, manure runoff, etc. Water with a distinct odor may be preferred by bees because it is easier for them to communicate about the water to their sisters when there is a 'smell' to the water.
