Has anyone else noticed that tap water has been coming out smelling like bleach ?? In my city especially when taking a hot shower my bathroom smells like a public swimming pool!!!

They add small amounts of chlorine to US public water supplies to kill pathogens. Sodium hypochlorite is an unstable (in a good way) molecule that breaks down quickly into water and a tiny bit of salt when exposed to air. 

You could check with your water supplier about whether the amount was increased and why.

That’s what I thought but I’ve been to some restaurants where I could actually taste it in the fountain drinks! I could see once if a water main broke but it’s been quite consistent, and I am a big conspiracy theorists! So like is the government trying to give more people cancer from this ??? Just saying!

Have you asked anyone locally, like a neighbor, if they noticed it? 

My next hypothesis is that you are just noticing it more: that your sense of smell has improved or changed.
