My tap water is so chalky that it leaves my hair really greasy. I have to tell my guests not to worry about the silty white layer on top of the rinsed grapes, and I have to tell them not to worry about the brown-red residue in my shower and toilet. (Cleaning them weekly is not enough.) I have to filter and boil most of the water I drink to get rid of the taste and smell of sulfide, and the EWG tap water database tells me that many of the contaminants in my municipalitys water are close to the legal limit.

Not sure if that's the water I drink, since I have well water. I'm regularly cleaning and replacing our aerators, because they get filled with sand.

I get Primo 5 gallon water jugs refilled with water from a municipality that has better water. It tastes better, it doesn't leave silt on grapes, and there's never any sand in my drinking water.

Maybe the water bottling plant is located there because it has nicer tap water? I'm not trying to be contrarian, but tap water actually can be bad.
