The water here is so chlorinated that we have a filter on the kitchen water
tap and take bottled water to the bedrooms.


The tap water here is drinkable most of the time.
Occasionally it is over chlorinated - very noticeable after
a sip of tea which tastes metallic. It also goes brown
sometimes for a day or two for reasons unknown - possibly
someone working on the mains. We keep some bottles of
spring water for such occasions.

Our milkman brings us bottles of water three times a week, only because the
taste of chlorine is unacceptable to us. I insist that the kettle is
filled only from the filter tap and I know, always, if someone hasn't done
that.
