There's lots of delicious water in the world; the problem hits when it has to go through municipal waterworks systems that leech into it. LA tapwater tastes primarily like LA pipes. My water up here is a lot closer to the source so it tastes a lot more like water.

Growing up, our water was from a 100m year old aquifer but it ran through a system hurried in by the Army Corps of Engineers. It was kinda tragic because it tasted like giant metal water tanks.

Speaking of, actually, moving to LA for a few months starting this weekend. How do I make LA water not taste like...terrible water? just a Brita?

Oh yeah? I'll be down there next weekend. And yeah. I rawk a Brita. I used to have a filterthingy for the sink, but then I moved back to civilization.
