1 year agoI’m in the US. I don’t know too many people that drink directly from the tap. Almost everyone I know passes the water through a filter first.
Although, technically, I think the water is safe to drink. My city sends little informational cards saying how they’ve tested the water and it should be good to drink straight from the tap.
I think we in the US scare easy, so I’m guessing Big Water Bottle and Big Filter have brainwashed us into being scared to drink straight from the tap.
Nice! I remember my dad having to do this because assholes would steal his tools at work.
