It's fine here too; ours is collected as rain and runoff from peaty moorland to the south, so it's very soft and tastes better than bottled water if it's left to stand for a day for the chlorine to dissipate.  I store it in a couple of big jugs so that I've always got a supply of dechlorinated water.

I do something similar, I fill up a cleaned out 3 litre plastic milk bottle with water and keep it in the fridge. I find cooler water tastes better to me.

I hate cold water; my teeth are sensitive and I find it generally unpleasant.  I keep mine at room temperature.

Ours is chlorinated and filtered from this body of water.

It tastes exactly as it sounds.

Ours comes from here.

Our water (Indiana) is OK to piss in, but I wouldn't want to drink it.


Perhaps all that pissing in the water hasn't helped.

(obviously you are referring to its use as in the toilet).

Both actually. Fewer people pissing anywhere would be better, in my book.

I am extremely sensitive to minerals of various sorts. I can't really taste much else (thank god for textures), but I have a very strong repulsion to lime, chalk (even some ceramics) and compounds of sulphur, which are plentiful in our well or lake water supplies. I can't even cook with our native water, because the minerals will spoil the dish.

I use softened, RO water (for like thirty years, now) exclusively for drinking, cooking, teeth brushing, coffee or tea making, etc. and I sometimes have to hold my breath for long periods in the shower. I actually prefer chlorinated city water, because it overwhelms my olfactory sense and masks the scent of other offensive compounds when I shower. I prefer the headache of chlorination to the nausea and scrubby feeling of these particular minerals.

The tap water here at work has elevated levels of fecal matter. :zombiefuck: I do not drink it!!!

Don't you love the fact that there are standards for fecal matter in city water greater than ZERO!

Yeah, I get this thing where I can only stand making a cup of tea from water that has been boiled in a stove top kettle and not an electric one. With water boiled from an electric kettle I get an overwhelming metalic taste in my mouth, which I cannot stand!  :grrr:

Our water, like Peter's, comes off peat moorland, so is generally superior in taste to most bottled waters.  8)

We have great water here, but it is chlorinated and fluoridated.  It comes from a mountain stream which is fed by snow melt.

Very good. Most Swedish water is, even in the big cities.

Our water is chlorinated but not fluoridated AFAIK, there was a big controversy about that awhile back.
To me it tastes very good when cold, but it leaves a soft pink film in toilets and dog bowls, dunno what that is.   :dunno:

In the tiny town I grew up in, there was like a reservoir.

Problem is, there was some sort of protected turtle or something that lived there too... and pooed.


So, how was the water ? A bit shitty  :thumbup:

The water where I live has several chemicals in it, including hydrogen :zombiefuck:. Luckily, there is also oxygen :thumbup: in the water here, although there's only about half as much oxygen as hydrogen.

Atoms, that is. An oxygen atom is 16 times heavier than a hydrogen atom, so counted in actual mass a water molecule contains 8/9 of oxygen and only 1/9 of hydrogen.

Just noticed this thread. The water quality where I grew up was fine. Since moving to N. Ireland I've found it undrinkable from the tap. Even small quantities give me severe diarrhea. The people who grew up here do not appear to have this problem.
