    I am so with you on this! Our town water here is FERAL. It tastes like I'm chewing on a metal pipe and its really hard. I want my sunny coast water back, it seemed so much fresher! I'm going to boil and hope it works! Hope you get some nice water soon xxxxx

    Boil it, or can you buy a filter thingy which cleans the water?? Can't think of what they're called, but I would think they would slightly change the taste of the water too??

    Try getting a Brita tap filter, and then use it to fill the kettle or a pot to boil it. Then pop it in the fridge or keep it on the bench. You can also get tablet thingies that dissolve and purify water. Try googling for those.

    I boil the water and let it cool before filtering in my Brita jug, it means I have several containers of water in my fridge cooling to keep up with this water sculling family We have bore water in with the town water as well as flouride
