Anyone else?

Apparently it's not unheard of when there is lots of rain. https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/news/sydney-water-reveals-reason-metro-households-are-reporting-funky-tasting-tap-water/news-story/20364e971f104eaeb7a2a0a7e58ec8e5 (anyone got some non-Murdoch sources?)

I've traveled a lot of Australia, and I have a small water filter that I take with me everywhere, because there are many many town's water that taste like earth, or dirt, or dusty.

    I also find the water in other places weird. I wonder if my tapwater normally reeks of something awful and I can't tell because I grew up on it, a bit like how you get used to smells and can't detect them any more.
