Interesting fact: last week Los Angeles took the title for tastiest tap water at the 18th Annual Berkeley Spings International Water Tasting.

In fact, just the other day I realized that you can buy a water dispenser like the one in most offices, and exchange/refill the tank for only $13 at most grocery stores! I had actually become a bit concerned because I have what is referred to as hard water at my apartment(probably due to old pipes), which makes my skin extremely dry after showering.
