A plastic taste in the water is usually the pipes or the plumbing, not the supply. Here is the Escondido guide.
The new pipes
New PEX or plastic lines can impart a taste that fades after flushing.
The sitting water
Water that sits in plastic lines or a tank overnight tastes worse — run it cold before using.
The fix
Flushing the lines and using cold water for drinking usually helps.
The call
If the taste persists, test the water. Call 888-217-3585 and Escondido Home Plumbing Co will match you with an Escondido pro.
