When we're up Morecambe way in the summer in the caravan I always drink the tap water as it tastes fine there but here, particularly in this house (which may be because we are close to a pumping station) it smells like I've just opened a bottle of bleach when I turn the tap on and it makes me feel sick.
Mine is exactly the same, it seems to have got worse over the last few weeks. I rang them up last week and they came to take samples as the chlorine level has irritated the skin on my face (I look like I've got a chemical burn!) I'm still waiting for the results, but it looks like I'm going to have to install water filters on all the taps & the shower.

Another member of my family rang and complained about the bleach smell & was told that it was because her washer was next to the sink!
