In past summers we would go to the local grocery store to re-fill 4
liter jugs with city water treated with fine filters, reverse osmosis
and UV light. When the problem didn't go away by Christmas, we bought
a Brita pitcher with carbon filter. That worked well.

My daughter gave me one of those Brita pitchers last Christmas. I
love it and use it constantly. Other than decaf coffee and an
occasional Sam Adams once or twice a month all I drink now is water.
Found a eBay store that sold replacement filters and have enough to
last about 3 years.
