Stop salty or buttering it up.

It's the symptoms tbf

Update: It was actually 2003, I was in Theodore at the time. It's recovered mostly from that bushfire as well as the 2019/2020, when I was visiting while it was happening.

Search term from the immediately above link is, 'why was Canberra's water so good before the bushfire?'

I have been living in Melbourne since 2017. Canberra's water still just pips it (Silvan Reservoir area), thanks to the Corin and Bendora dams. Googong water is still terrible (it has a slightly bitter taste, probably because of chlorination treatment) when water from it is required, but they haven't had to use that for a while. It's night and day to me, at least when Googong water is involved.

Tow it outside the environment.

Indeed. You can tell if it's straight out of Googong Dam also.

That was probably close to one of the last versions of enlightenment I used regularly. It was such a fun WM to use at the time. If I remember correctly, GNOME and KDE were really ramping up about then and e fell behind.
