Yup, I'm with you, Hunt. I find the tap water in several major cities
(Chicago and Indianapolis come to mind) undrinkable because of the
TCA-like smell to it. It's not TCA, but other chlorinated organics that
give rise to that character. Still, it's enough to put me off their tap
water. FWIW, I can't tolerate the smell of patchouli oil for the same
reason.
