Default Vegetable garden

I planted a small vegetable garden in the backyard. I positioned it so that it would get watered when the sprinkler came on. Other days I watered it with the outside hose. Everything grew pretty well. However, the romaine lettuce that I planted grew beautifully but was very bitter. We ended up pulling it out and throwing it away. Does anyone have any ideas as to why it was so bitter? Did the sprinkler(reclaimed water) have anything to do with it? The tomatoes tasted great!
