Stayed at Hunting Lodge in 2001 and passed through in 2003. I thought the water there was fine. My guess is that the day Joe was there it had been dosed with a little too much chlorine.
Best water I ever had a Philmont was at Ute Gulch Commissary. In 2001 we had to go from Turkey Creek camp to Hunting Lodge via Ute Gulch, a total of nearly 15 miles. We got water at Vaca camp in route which is the nastiest tasting water I have ever had a Philmont. By the time we got to Ute Gulch that day we were hot, tired, and thirsty. The water there was cool and delicious. I think I guzzled about 2 quarts right then.
Someone once posted a "you know you have been to Philmont if..." list. They can add "you know you have been to Philmont if one way you rate camps is by the taste of their water".

When our crew passed through Ute Gulch in 2001, the water was virturally undrinkable due to an overdosing with chlorine. So I'd say that it definitely is a day to day thing, and sort of like the weather, if you don't like it, wait (probably at least a day or two in the case of water...)
