The entire understanding of good or bad water is based on anecdotes, conjecture and taste. Which tells you nothing. Then some savant talks praises about the water source and municipal treatment process.

When really the last mile is the most variable aspect. All of it needs to be clean the whole way.

The way people talk about local water is absurd.

Seattle does a good job of publishing stats about their water and it is tested at multiple different locations. However, as you allude to, you should test your individual water as well.
