160yo log cabin up in Lewiston Mi well water. Lake house Traverse MI well water, Commerce Mi, community well. All my summers in Tiny towns outside of Lexington and Louisville KY, also well, or the creek behind the house.

In TV our 5 different villages between the 6’s four New houses didn’t have the weird smell/taste. 5th House Preowned, by Seabreeze the water was from fridge filter into a brita, ok water, but not in house long enough to care.

New build water doesn’t have that weird smell or taste that will come later as pipes age. However just water isn’t high on our list, it comes in the form of coffee, sweet tea, and homemade lemonade.
