Here in South Australia,our tap water often turns an unattractive shade of rust in summer and has always been 'hard'*
However our water remains potable.(safe) I can't be bothered with filters and refuse to pay thousands of percent markup for bottled water which does not have the same guarantee of potability and is not flouridated.. Some country towns here have begun recycling sewerage for drinking water.
*My sis lives in Melbourne. which has 'soft water'.Once,when visiting, I used the same amount of shampoo I would use here; filed the shower recess with suds. I kid you not.
