Theo,

In Houston, we are "downriver" from just about everyone in North America,,and if it isn't chlorine that I smell in the water, then it sure is a very close likeness.

Like you, I have well water at the country place and just like yours, my wife insists on bottled water there...even though there isn't another household tapping that water source within several miles. Probably could bottle that well water and sell it because it is that pure.
