Bad Tasting Tap Water In Dallas, TX
Sip clear, fresh water from every tap!
Does Your Tap Water Taste Bad?
If you’ve ever taken a sip from the tap and immediately wondered, “Why does tap water taste bad?” — you’re not alone. From metallic tangs to bitter or chemical flavors, many Dallas-area homeowners experience unpleasant-tasting water at some point. While city water is treated for safety, that doesn’t mean it always tastes great.
At SafeWave Water Treatment, we help homeowners understand what’s affecting the flavor of their water — and more importantly, how to fix it. With customized water filtration systems tailored to Dallas water conditions, we make tap water enjoyable again.
Why Does My Tap Water Taste Bad?
The taste of tap water is affected by everything from treatment chemicals to aging pipes and local geology.
Whether your water comes from the city or a private well, here are the most common reasons tap water tastes bad in North Texas:
- Chlorine or bleach taste — Dallas water is heavily chlorinated for disinfection, which often leaves a strong taste in unfiltered tap water.
- Metallic or bitter flavor — Usually caused by excess iron, copper or manganese, especially in older homes with aging pipes.
- Earthy or musty taste — Caused by algae blooms or decaying organic matter in lakes and reservoirs, especially during warmer months.
- Salty taste — May indicate elevated levels of sodium or sulfates, often due to local geology or softener overuse.
- Plastic or chemical taste — Can be leached from plumbing, water heaters or old supply lines.
If your water tastes bad and it’s a consistent issue, it’s worth addressing — not just for taste, but for peace of mind about your home’s water quality. Turn to our team at SafeWave when you need reliable results.

Trusted By Dallas Homeowners
Dallas’s water supply comes from surface reservoirs like Lake Ray Hubbard and Lake Grapevine, which are vulnerable to seasonal algae blooms and high levels of chlorination. That’s why taste issues are common — and why local expertise matters.
SafeWave has worked with homeowners in Plano, Garland, Cedar Hill and across DFW to solve taste-related water issues quickly and permanently. We know what’s in your water, and we know how to fix it.
