The drinking water systems in the United States are so precarious and vulnerable, that I’m genuinely shocked we haven’t had more widespread issues with the water supply. The systems are made up of thousands of locally-managed interconnected intakes and outflows, and oversight is spotty and combative.
Please use a water filter. And thank your local utilities and maintenance people for their hard work keeping us alive.

I saw a survey of small town watertowers in the US. There were a terrifying amount of dead birds in there, and living birds shitting.
And that was with the EPA in existence. Just wait until the rivers catch on fire again. Psychotic idiots.
