Yes it did. Black Sulphur. The well was dug in '93 I think, and we knew there was Sulphur in the area. We were going to try and avoid it. Got 60' down, and nailed it. Dug a spring in 2000, around that time, to get the Sulphur water out of the house, but the Damage was done. The house has Hot Waer Baseboard, and Sulphur water was run through them at points in time. Basically most of the Copper in the house is Garbage. My brother put his foot on the one Tub Faucet, and it literally fell right off. It's just a matter of time before a line blows, and floods the walls of the house. Not only the pipes, but the Sulphur covered the walls of the house, and tarnished Glasses, and things like that.
You did get used to it after a while. People used to hate coming over because of it.

Tap water shouldn't unless living in an area where tap water comes comes direct from a natural spring supply.
Some mineral waters will smell this way due to the rocks they filter through, in fact beers brewed in the Burton area of England have a slight, but distinct, sulphurous odour from the spring water they use in the brewing process.

Not anywhere I've ever lived, but when I was a kid I visited Yuba City, CA and the water there smelled like sulfur. I got pretty thirsty, but just couldn't bring myself to drink it.
That was a long time ago, and I imagine they've improved their system by now, at least I hope so.

Add some chlorine to it. It actually works! If you get the ratios right, the final water should not smell like either sulfur or chlorine.
HClO + H2S ---> HCl + S + H2O
The reaction is accelerated by sodium hydroxide or any other base.
