I would investigate as to whether there has been work on any water mains. If the odor is chlorine, it may be due to over-chlorination. I always recommend a water filtration system, even for "safe" water. especially for drinking & cooking. A reverse osmosis system is the best. If it is simply due to minerals in the water source, get a charcoal filter system. Go to Lowe's and buy Purtest White Water Teat Kit ($26.50). If there is staining after clothes washing it may be excessive iron or magnesium. Water purveyors are required to be tested (but not every day). It probably is just a nuisance, but it deserves a looking into with this many complaints.
