Why? Most of the places we travel offer "city water" far tastier than LA water. Then again, just being away I am sure gives everything a great "vacation taste."
I use a very small basic sediment filter on the city side of the hose. This filter, made for washing machines, keeps sediment out of my lines. I travel with, but seldom use, an RV inline filter if the water at a campsite has a strong taste. Mostly we prepare coffee, tea, and drink with bottled water, on the road and at home, and do food prep and other functions with tap water.
To date, I have not visited a campground/resort in the USA where I would not drink the tap water. When we traveled in Mexico we were advised not even to allow city water into our rig...probably overcautious in some of our stops, but a rule we followed.
