10. Our water has such a chemical taste to it we no longer drink it or give it to our cats.

Theoretically this is how our drinking water is processed.

It is drawn from deep wells in the Upper Floridan Aquifer and a surficial aquifer. It is treated using a multi-step process that includes low-pressure reverse osmosis / nanofiltration, followed by aeration and free chlorine disinfection.

Same water we've have been drinking the last 25 years, but now has a very chemical taste to it. We buy about 3-4 1 gallon bottles of pure spring water each week for our drinking/cooking needs.
