At imperceptible levels.

Compared to that, in New York, I can definitely taste it and it took some getting used to. (Ironically, at this point my senses seem to have been rewired to associate the taste of chlorine with fresh, i.e. non-stale tap water.)

Depends on where in .de it is sourced. "Uferfiltrat" meaning from deep wells next to, or near a river, deep wells reaching into other groundwater sources, and dammed reservoirs.

Uferfiltrat=shitty, deep well=depends, dammed reservoirs=mostly good/usually soft water.

Can even vary within larger cities, where different parts get water from different sources.
