I question this as a bad take or a data-point of one, because NYC water is the best of Upstate water.

I’ve travelled and lived across the country during my high school and college years; and I’ve travelled my extensively within Upstate very (Adirondacks, Catskills, and Finger Lakes) and the taste of local water is the first thing I notice.

Bad building pipes aside, I have not tasted any water that exceeds NYC’s tap water in taste.

I’m not the only person who’s expressed this, and guests from other regions have also admitted the same consistently over the years.
