Why does philadelphia city water taste disgusting?
<|assistant|>
Philadelphia City Water often has a disgusting taste because of the source water, which contains high levels of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. These minerals can react with corrosion in the water mains to create an unpleasant taste and smell. In addition, water treatment facilities must often add chemicals such as chlorine to treat the water which can contribute to the disgusting taste. Lastly, some plumbing and fixtures, such as lead pipes and brass fittings, can add a metallic or funky taste to the water.
