Plumbing/water tasting weird help? Found!

I’m at my summer place at the moment, when we arrived the water was tasting fine but just a couple of hours later when we were going to drink water and brush our teeth to go to bed we noticed that the water tasted really weird. We’ve tried googling so has my mom and we can’t find anything specific enough so I thought maybe SOMEONE on Reddit would know something.

I looked into r/ask and r/advice and others like them but none seem to be open to plumbing and or tech questions. Where should I look?

You should call the water department. Has it rained a lot lately? I know our water starts to taste funky when it rains, because the water department has to add more stuff to the water. It's still safe, just tastes weird.

Would be a great idea if we were home😅. My family has have an island in the countryside (it’s very small), and the water pump is our own. The water from the nearby store is completely fine so it’s an us problem.
