My city uses well water or so I thought. Found out that in the summer they cant pump enough and buy some water from Oklahoma city. OKC uses lake water. In the last week the tap ph has dropped from 8.4 to 7.6. gh dropped from over 13 to 9. This can change from day to day depending on how much okc water is used.
Will this varying water stress the fish?
 
Unless you change large amounts of water at once, it won't matter much. Even if it changes twice that drastically, replacing 10-20% of your tank water with it won't change the total concentration significantly.
