I'd like to know why our public water will randomly kill all my plants sometimes.

Perhaps chlorine concentration?
For drinking water, I use a gallon-sized pitcher with a Brita filter and keep it in the fridge. Between the filter, and just letting the water sit and off-gas the chlorine improves the taste dramatically.
For watering your plants, just letting the water sit in a pitcher or some other vessel overnight will reduce the chlorine concentration enough that it won't kill your plants.

Yea we use a filter now. We always did for drinking anyway.
