A plastic taste in the water is usually the pipes or the plumbing, not the supply. Here is the Kansas City 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 Kansas City, MO Plumbing Experts will match you with a Kansas City pro.
