I have learned that city water pH is normally above 7.0 on purpose, because they develop it that way for the customers, because it simply "tastes better" to humans, but is not that great for most plants!
Using good compost and compost tea recipes regularly around and all over your plants is a smart way to overcome this issue. The beneficial soil microbes and balanced levels of calcium and sulfur in compost humates help regulate soil pH.
