Most, but not all, waste water. Watts makes a unit where the "waste water" is pumped into the hot water heater so you use it when you take a shower.

But tap water is perfectly safe to drink.

When I lived in Silicon Valley, the water smelled like chlorine also and it also had an earthy smell to it. I only drank the tap water from water fountains, but never at home. Got used the buying bottled water from one of those Alkaline water dispensers.

Been living here since 1979. When I grew up and could afford it, I drink filtered water. R/O system installed in my kitchen. Waiting for when I have to have kidney stones removed because of the hard water!
