All tap water tastes different to me, especially from one state to another.  As long as its drinkable, it can be filtered using even a fridge filter for better taste.  Personally, I think they should have desalination plants running 24/7 pumping fresh water into lakes/reservoirs in California's interior.  Maybe they can actually greenify that desert state.

An even more elegant solution would be the construction of a few large retention ponds in the midwest, capturing the annual nuisance flood waters of the yallerstone, missouri, mississippii et al, and pumping it over the rockies into lake powell in utah - headwater of the colorado.

That's what God's servant, Adam, would do: say to the Mississippi, "You were fashioned to feed the Gulf of Mexico, but to serve the interests of human kind, some of your waters will feed the Pacific, by the power of my word and by the stewardship granted me by our Heavenly Father."

The waters shipped west could be daylighted at various stops along the route, creating residential, industrial, agricultural and commercial opportunities. The monies earned by such daylighting, the monies saved from preventing annual nuisance floods and septennial catastrophic floods, and the monies derived from the sale of the rerouted waters in the arid southwest would all combine to easily justify the expense of the project. The resulting agricultural bounty would erase America's trade deficit. 

This would require long term planners. Wall Street is obsessed with next quarter, and wall street governs this country, unelected.
