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 👌🏼

Wow. I'm in the west but haven't noticed it when cleaning teeth. I wet the toothpaste before brushing and wipe down the outside of my mouth with water afterwards, but don't rinse my mouth off since AFAIK it's recommended not to do that for dental hygiene.
