How does the tap water taste where you live? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Where I live, the water sometimes taste like lowtide, lol. Other times, it tastes fine. I lived in a town once where the tap water tasted like the sewer, and a few other places where the tap water tasted great. I don't really like water anyway, so I buy bottled water, both small and gallon size. I make coffee with bottled water.

I wouldn't know. I use a Brita filter for drinking water.

I use a Brita filter as well, otherwise it tastes a like chlorine, not swimming pool bad, but enough to notice.

Not being one to brag, NYC has some of the best tasting tap water in the nation.
I'm not making that up, i saw that on TV, so you know it must be true.

Still, I drink filtered water, thanks to my trusty Brita pitcher. But i will be upgrading to a Zerowater filtered pitcher soon. It's the bomb. And I'm not just saying that becasue my brother in law works for zerowater and he's going to get me a free pitcher.

The tap water here doesn't taste good. I drink filtered water and/or bottled water.

I think our tap water tastes great, I drink it a lot. I am so glad that we have city water, and not well water.

comedyfreak · 04-02-2010, 08:19 AM

Mine doesn't taste bad at all.

catlover79 · 04-02-2010, 11:20 AM

Just fine - but my sister and brother-in-law have a Brita filter at their house and it makes it so much better.

Janice · 04-02-2010, 11:35 AM

That's what I need for my faucet, is a filter.

Well, when we lived on Main Base, the tap water was ****. Like, it came out of the faucet with a brownish tint. But now that we've moved to the east side of Base, it's really clean and drinkable. We save so much money on bottled water now.

OH Nuts! · 04-02-2010, 02:48 PM

As mentioned earlier, NYC water is not bad. That being said, I'm a seltzer man myself although I do use the tap to make coffee.

ours has that brownish tint to it as well and it taste terrible. We drink alot of ice tea so we buy the water in the gallon jugs for that.

I keep filtered water in the refridgerator and that taste's fine. The tap water here tastes ok, I use it, but filtered water is better.
