I grew up near Toronto and then moved to the Niagara Peninsula. I
never had issues with the taste of water. I have drunk water across
Canada and never had a problem with the taste. I have have drunk
municipal water in a number if US states; MIchigan, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvaniam Virginia, West Virgina, Colorado and California.
It was only in Newark NJ that the water tasted bad. I have also had it
in France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Estonia, Sweden and
Denmark.... no problems.
