My water tastes like dirt with a very very mild smell of chlorine.

Usually chlorine. When we get a lot of rain, it smells like mold. When we are low on rain, it looks dirty. We are assured that it's fine. Needless to say, I don't drink it straight from the tap, and I'm not particularly thrilled to be bathing in it.

It tastes a little rusty occasionally due to the old piping.
My mom has the best well water I've ever tasted. I go to her house to fill up jugs instead of buying bottled water.
It doesn't taste too bad, but it smells like a big ole fart. If I let it run for a few minutes the smell goes away, but GAH, it is NASTY smelling if we've been away for a few days.
Even my kitchen drain smells that way if I don't run water through it every day.
I live in an apartment, so I don't know what's causing it or if there's anything I can do about it.

Ours tastes like a mountain spring. Of course that is because it is a mountain spring.

Some friends of mine live about 45 minutes from you. It makes me nauseated to even take a shower there. It smells like sulfur.

Exactly what I was going to post. We have pure Rocky Mountain Spring water because it comes from our Rocky Mountain springs.

YES! It is AWFUL, isn't it???
I don't know if there's anything that can be done, so I don't say anything to my landlady...
