We live in an area with safe and completely drinkable but relatively "hard" water. It does have a mild flavor, but not as bad as, say, rural Illinois where I simply could not drink the tap water it tasted so foul to me. Anyway, water softeners are common, and some of the restaurants have them on a stronger setting than is necessary for our area. The result is that the water is too soft for my taste. Its utter tastelessness is actually a little unnerving, and even doesn't feel like it quenches my thirst as well. The ice is almost mushy.
