Lincoln, Nebraska tap water
Normally, the tap water has so many dissolved gasses and salts that I can't see through it when it first comes out of the tap, but if you let the water sit for a minute or two the gas bubbles come to the top and it becomes transparent. Also, it has so much dissolved salts that putting tap water in a pot and boiling off 20% of it leaves a visible precipitate/residue on the bottom of the pot. This fucking sucks. If you run the cold water for >5 minutes before filling up from it, it comes out clear. But the excessive dissolved crap problem is still there. You can't boil off 20% of it without forming a precipitate. It probably isn't healthy to drink water that has so much dissolved crap in it. I looked up their test results, which meet LEGAL limits but don't meet EPA health guidelines or California public health goals:
