I think there can be a difference between taste and drinkability - so far as the environmental health people are concerned, they're happy as long as what comes out of the tap isn't hazardous to health. Whether it actually tastes nice is another matter. We always filter our water because we're both northerners and we can't stand southern hard water. It messes up the kettle, puts a skin on your tea and tastes foul. I'm sure it's medically safe though.
