I've been double-filtering mine with a Brita water jug which removes nearly all of the taste.

Tbh I haven't really noticed the taste change yet. I don't use any filter, just pour it into a jug and put the jug in the fridge to get properly cold.

Hmm I don't usually chill my water but I heard that helps a lot. Might start doing that myself.

The taste is very noticeable unchilled. I noticed after rinsing when brushing my teeth. I heard the water was bad in the western suburbs and it was about 24 hours later that I started noticing the taste in Brisbane's south (I guess the water towers get filled at different times).

I can't stand water right out of the tap, so I have always filled up glass bottles with it and store them in the fridge. Very much recommended 👌🏼
