Try flushing your water heater.

We've had this same issue too (city water, in North Carolina)... ever since we had the Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) replaced on our main water line a few years ago, b/c it was leaking/was just time to be replaced. We've tried everything and no idea why the water became sticky/tacky/drying after that (minor) plumbing repair. We've had our water tested for SO many things (including hardness), with multiple different labs, and so far e'thing is in normal range. Our hardness even comes back as lower end (ie, "soft"). Did you ever figure out what was going on with your water?
