Baton Rouge water

I've recently made a couple of friends from North Carolina who moved to Baton Rouge about a year ago- they're alright except they always yap about how they hate Baton Rouge water. They are a couple and the girlfriend, who's kind of a big SJW ditz, declares frequently that Baton Rouge water is contaminated with pollution and toxic. They complain about it tasting bad. I usually just laugh it off and tell them they don't know what they're talking about, but I'll prob be seeing them this weekend and I'd like the OT to weigh on whether BR water is a quality drink or not.
I've lived in south Baton Rouge for nearly my whole life and I've neevr once thought the water tasted bad. My friends live in Downtown Baton Rouge off Spanishtown, is the water in that area not good or something?

Baton Rouge water is the best that I've ever tasted in the country.
Now NOLA water on the other hand...

They are idiots. The water is one of the few things Baton Rouge does right.
You sure they aren't drinking NOLA water?

BR water is from a aquifer, which means high quality. And more natural than many places which have to put a shite ton of chemicals in the water.
People in BR buying bottled water are retarded. Your friends from NC are the same. They must be addicted to bottled water or their own chemically enhanced water.

As shocking as it sounds Baton Rouge's water is some of the purest and best tasting water I've ever drank.

baton rouge has the best water, this i can tell you. i have friends in north carolina. some of them great people. beautiful state. mountains. but let's face it, they wouldn't know luxurious aquifer water if it splashed them in the face. believe me.

Your friends are idiots. Baton Rouge water is DEAD soft. That's tough for some people. But it's also some of the cleanest and best tasting water in the country. It isn't recycled river water. They won't have to worry about their pipes gumming up or installing a water softener. They are being picky. Tell them to go drink some New Orleans Miss river water and then let me know how BR water tastes.

BR water from the tap is way better than anywhere else I've lived. You need new friends.

I have one of these in my house:
I'm a water snob and hate the chlorine taste, so I like my filtered water. Plus it's awesome to have the chilled/hot option.

Yes, your friends are stupid. I had to study the Baton Rouge (and Chicot) aquifer in grad school for a terrible hydrogeological project and it is in fact one of the best aquifers in the country. Unfortunately it is in the beginning stages of salt water intrusions, but there are remediation tactics that can prevent it from happening over time that I think are currently being implemented.
However, New Orleans water comes from the Mississippi River. It is terrible.

It's a pain when trying to take showers though, feels like you can't get the soap/shampoo off no matter how long you rinse.

It smells like matches to me. 
I guess I'm just a peasant based off what everyone is saying in the thread.

As others have said, Baton Rouge is consistently ranked in the top ten municipal water sources in the country and pulls its water from naturally filtered and softened aquifers thousands of feet below the surface. Basically all they have to do when it comes up is hit it with a little chlorine and pump it out.
Your friends are fricking idiots. Because they're your friends, you're an idiot. The company you keep...
