The grass and wildflowers in my yard absolutely know the difference between tap water and rainwater.
Our tap water has to be pretty heavily treated due to it coming down from the mountains, with a lot of mine runoff. You can occasionally smell the chlorine.
I have to water when it gets too dry, otherwise the sun will burn everything up. (It does that at 8000'). I'm sure the flora appreciates it, but growth is about 1/4 the speed in comparison to a good rainstorm.
