All I know is the Gov’t water tastes like crap which is why people buy bottled water (without the fluoride).
Bottled water tastes like garbage (usually because of out-gassing plastic) - and guess what most of it is? It’s a huge scam. Most people buy it because they think it’s “healthy”, that’s all.
My Baltimore water is some of the best. I have no qualms with it, except occasionally they let out the stops on Cl and you can taste it if not smell it.
