Why would the hot and cold water smell of rust after having a new septic system installed?

The two systems should not be connected. Could the construction have shaken the pipes and knocked the rust loose? (Assuming that you have galvanized steel pipes).
If that is the case, run the water until it is clear. Turn the water heater off, and drain the tank and refill after you have cleared the pipes.

What would cause a sulfur smell in the hot water when the cold water does not smell and the hot and cold water in a house supplied by the same well water also doesn't smell?
you most likely have lime build up in your hot water heater. you need to flush it out and change the heating elements. Water heaters often have a sacrificial rod in them that is installed to prolong the life of the heater. This rod brakes down over time and in the right water condition can make a veary bad smell in your water. I have seen it back up into the cold water feed line and make it small bad also. It will often be worse with the more time that has passed with no use of the water from the heater. This rod is installed from the top and there is usually an access so that the rod can be removed or replaced.
Is there a way to combate inability to taste?
The ability to taste is directly correlated with your ability to smell. In fact, studies have shown that most people can not tell the difference between an onion and an apple when their sense of smell is cut of and they do not see what food they are eating. Your ability to smell comes your olfactory system which can be damaged, if the components your body uses to smell (such as olfactory bulbs and olfactory nerve) are damaged then your sense of smell will decrease and in turn your sense of taste will decrease as well. At this point I do not believe there is a reversal process for someone who has suffered damages to any of the physiological aspects of smell, however, if you suffer from a chronically stuffy nose or clogged sinuses this can impair your taste as well, since, like I said before your sense of smell is impaired. By taking over the counter medication to clear your nasal passages or sinuses in order to breath better through your nose you may increase your sensitivity to taste.

Pump Your Own Septic Tank?
Many people have septic tanks, but few give the pumping much thought. However, septic tank pumping is something that should be done on a regular basis, obviously more often in a larger family home. However, if you have a lot of land you are able to pump your septic tank out on your own, with no smell to bother you. Two septic tanks will decompose the contents for several months, and then it will slowly release into your predetermined septic field. As the contents are decomposed already and seeped out slowly, there is no discernible smell or problem, as long as it is not too near to a water source.
