I would find it surprising that a public water supply was just not
suitable for growing plants.  Before you go overboard you should probably
talk to other plant growers in your area.  Find out what they think the
problem is and what they do about it.

If you want help (other than how to cut your up-front RO costs from $500+
to $200+) then you might provide more information:  where you are, what
your water quality is like (maybe even what the water utility says they
give you), more detail about what actually happens to the plants and what
your setup is like.
