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 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.
