Drinks water from gallon jugs because the faucet spews well water from limestone near an oil refinery

I know people who can't tell the difference between the well and spring water, they are not my homies.

I can tell the difference between my cities perfectly adequate and safe tap water, and water that's from a Brita.

There's literally nothing wrong with my tap water at all. I use a Brita because I don't like the taste of my tap water.

I know exactly zero other people who can tell the difference.

I started using a water filter because my cities water reeked of chlorine. Funnily enough a few months later a job listing appeared for a new water facility person and the water has not since smelled nor tasted bad, and that was about 5 years ago now
