It's probably caused by chlorine.  This is from a Drinking Water Inspectorate* leaflet:

"If you occasionally notice a slight taste or smell of chlorine it is probably due to maintenance work in your area, it will not be a long lasting problem and there is no cause to worry. BUT, if you notice a particularly bad or strong smell or TCP-like taste which makes your tap water unpalatable, or you notice a smell or taste for the first time which does not go away in a short time, then you should contact your water company immediately. Enquiry and emergency numbers are listed under WATER in your telephone directory or on the back of your water bill."

Has there been any work on water mains in the area in the past week?


*part of DEFRA apparently.
