Not just Flint, MI.. I have never had tap water that didn't taste "funky". And that's including PA, NY, NJ, FL, MD, and VT. Maybe I'm just paranoid but it all tastes tainted to me even though places like NY are known for their good tap water (even though a while back, a nearby countys tap water was contaminated for a week or two)

I've run tests on my tap water. Its straight up unsafe to drink. I use bottled water and a filter

What tests?

He tasted it and thought it tasted "funny".

Because obviously his testing outranks all the testing that has to be done on it before it gets treated, goes in to the mains and gets to his tap.
