Just be glad that the water there doesn't have a brownish tint to it because of dirt particles floating around. Yup, that's the quality water that my city provides for me and my family here in South Carolina.

Well it doesn't catch fire and it's better than flint Michigan! So I guess it passes the test here in America. Remember today's new norm says it's only bad when the EPA says so good luck
I'm also someone who likes the water. It's taste is something that tells me "I'm at WDW". I'm the only one in my family who holds that opinion, however.

Ditto for me, it’s another unique quirk if WDW that I like to enjoy on my trips. Sadly if they bottled it and sold it in my local supermarket, I’d probably buy it.I'm also someone who likes the water. It's taste is something that tells me "I'm at WDW".

I cannot drink the water at WDW. If I drink it, it will upset my digestive system.
That being said, considering even my Brita bottle can't get rid of the taste, I'm not sure any system Disney can put in will do the trick. That, and to put it everywhere on property...
I just know as part of my budget that I'll need to spend money on bottled water. Not much I can do about it.
Tip: find vending machines. They're cheaper. The ones outside DHS will spit out a water bottle for $1.50.

Potable water at Walt Disney World is effectively provided by Disney through the Reedy Creek Improvement District. It’s chlorinated well water. For most people the best tasting water will not be just H2O, so you’d have to create a mineral composition that is somehow deemed to be the best.

Out of curiosity, when you get water at any ts restaurant is it coming out a bottle, filtered, or tap?

WDW already has its own water treatment facility.
Everyone has different tastes when it comes to water. WDW’s is certainly not the best but you’ll never please everyone.
The restaurants serve filtered water from their soda dispensers.
Any WDW restaurant or quick service location will give you filtered ice water free of charge.

Water at Disney always reminds me of having to clean the tank when I had a turtle. Not trying to be smarmy but seriously the taste I get from the Disney water is the same as the taste that the smell from the turtle water would put into the back of my throat. For that reason I can't even use it to brush my teeth.
Now, to combat the water bottle cash grab...instead of using ME to get from the airport to the resort we use a car service. Part of their courtesy is that they will make a 20 minute stop at Publix so we get 2-3 cases of water (as well as beer, sunscreen snacks and sundry items) and proceed to the resort. The money we save from not having to buy those items on property pretty much pays for the car service and we go directly to our resort without any delay and our bags are with us when we hit the room. Just an idea on how to beat Disney at their game...at least a little

Yeah the water tastes like sulfur. A few trips we used Bobble filtered bottles and the water still tasted like sulfur. Not as heavy of a taste, but it was there. I always get water at restaurants and find that squeezing a lemon and or lime into it almost eliminates the sulfur taste. It sucks but if it doesn’t make you sick then it’s just a taste thing.

It doesn't bother me at all. It tastes better than the city I used to work in at least.

I think it really just depends on where you are visiting from. I like my water to be cold, so the only time I’ve cringed is after taking a swig from a fountain that was lukewarm. It did not taste good. But other fountains have been perfectly fine.
And they do have their own treatment facility. I can smell it as I pass by frequently on Western Way. At first I thought they just fertilized the landscaping a lot. Then I looked at google maps.

Well personally I use filtered water at home. When in the parks I like it COLD and since my Disney Reward Dollars usually pay for the bulk of my food budget, I don't flinch at grabbing a Dasani whenever thirsty, I don't mind carrying it around for a ride or two, it usually gets consumed rather quickly. It's pure convience, and yes an aversion to the taste of the water, plus things I have read about drinking fountains bacterial content etc issues that lurk in my subconscious. ....sigh.(Can someone tell me why oh why the smilies are now reverting to the beginning of post instead of where I am trying to insert them? Did not used to be as such....curbs creativity it does.)

The taste of the water is fine to me. The smell however ...

I never had a problem with it...
If you have an issue, buy a few britta water filtration bottles. We always have one for each family member, just because it basically turns any water into bottled water, which for Disney, is just Atlanta public water which has been filtered and bottled.
You can usually get a filter bottle for about $5-$6 on Amazon and the filters will last for well over a year.

The local tap water meets health and safety standards; it's just the taste that is objectionable ( to many, including me). And Disney does filter the water served at its restaurants which removes much, if not all, of the gagworthy sulfur taste. But I can't see any scenario where Disney would filter ALL of the water going through their pipes. Try to imagine the volume of water per day needed to supply every resort and park. Drinking water doesn't come from a separate system.( Although I think they use grey water for landscaping needs) The cost would be enormous- which of course would be passed on to guests in the form of higher prices. I'd rather just buy a case of water before checking in.
