Question

Answer 1

I assume that you are refering to tap water from your faucet.

I would not rely on any answers on Yahoo Answers!

Your health could be at stake.

Call your local county health department and ask them how and where to go about getting your tap water tested,

Answer 2

Do You Have Someone Living With You, And Why Do You Know What Bleach Tastes Like Anyway?

Answer 3

Water from the tap is supposed to be absolutely fine to drink.

However,I 'm in the UK and I have had an aversion to drinking tap water for years because of this problem. Someone here once told me that it's likely to be that (over here anyway) flouride is added to our drinking water and I could be sensitive to the smell or taste of it.

So,because the tap water is treated differently to spring or mineral water,you may simply not like the taste or smell and it's probably safe to drink.

Answer 4

In the US one of the methods used in all treated tap water is to put chlorine in it to kill organisms that may be in it. The level is completely safe for us to consume but it does leave it tasting nasty.

Even a basic filter like Pur or Britta will fix this problem. However, if you have more health concerns than just the taste or are more concerned with long term cost then you will want a purification system and not a filter.

Answer 5

yea the water is good. I was told when it tastes that way was because the water plants are cleaning their storage tanks. I was also told it could be the hoses under your sink. you may need to change them.

Answer 6

If it's tap water you're talking about, it's not safe at all! Get a filter, or just purified, distilled, whatever type of water. Tap water is very hazardous to your health.
