Hear, hear. I have a sensitive sense of smell (and thus taste) and tap water here (in a huge metropolitan city in the U.S.) tastes like chlorine, and it's a little sweet. People here say it's "delicious."

To avoid drinking "delicious" tap water I drink bottled water, and I have for decades. Also, fluoride in the tap water? No, thank you. I don't get cavities because I eat well and brush correctly.

This is how I feel about tap water as well. In many places I lived, and in my current city people like the tap water and it is supposed to be delicious but it is not. How are people overlooking such obvious notes of chlorine and that little sweetness?
