      I never had tap water in the US that didn’t. No wonder why bottled water is so popular there. I’m sure they have better water in more mountainous states, but TX, LA, MS and AL tastes like chlorinated swamp.

      Most of my life I’ve lived in places where the tap water comes from natural lakes in nearby mountains, with bird poop as the only additive. I therefore notice the chlorine very easily, to the point where my coworkers claim they don’t notice it at all.

        In New Zealand our tap water is mostly okay to good, with the exception of Whanganui. Tap water there has lots of lime (not the fruit) in it so I tend not to drink tap water as a habit, despite living in the south island now which has nice and cold tap water pretty much everywhere. Never heard of chlorine in the tap water around here lol

            It does, not really sure how to describe it other than unpleasant, maybe metallic like. It also leaves residue in boiling jugs that needs to be cleaned periodically.
