Yeah. I'll drink tap water if I need to, but I'm not such a huge fan of limestone. I know it's not bad for me and in sane amounts it doesn't affect the flavour too much, but my tap water has way too much.

I've lived in other cities in the same country where water tasted way better. So it's not that I've ruined my taste buds by drinking copious amounts of carbonated mineral water, it's that in the particular city I live, every apartment has had kinda shit tap water. Of course it's all city water.

My friend's parents' home has tap water that comes from a spring on their own property. It has a lot of iron and that water tastes pretty damn good. My own childhood home has a well that the pump lifts water from. It's not excellent, but it's still better than the tap water in my current city.

Chlorine is kinda fragile, you can boil it or use uv (sunlight) to break it down. I find Melbourne water tastes bleachy from the tap.
