Federal Way
Just going to throw this information out there just as an FYI for anyone curious about Federal Way's city water. I've noticed since I moved here that the water has a heavy Chlorine smell to it, and recently a fellow aquarist mentioned that could be from Chloramines being used in the water. As Chloramines are harder to remove from the water than Chlorine and can potentially add ammonia, I asked Lakehaven (Fed Way's water district) about it. According to the reply I received they only use Chlorine, so that is a good thing.
 
Federal Way was very bad while I lived there I had to filter all my water with a britta nozzle and of course RO/DI for the tank.
