To drink or not to drink.

Municipal Water Treatment System

I'm really kind of afraid of the water quality in this area. Whenever the faucet is turned on and I'm trying to get a cool drink out of it, the water turns an opaque color for about 20 seconds. Disgusting right?

I frankly don't want to know what sort of creatures and bacteria are floating around in it. Given the area, it's something I'm not really too surprised at and I wish the city would do something about it.

I think thisone is better left up to the individual to get a water filter so they don't have risk of getting sick from the water quality.

Barry's Response - Jessica. Municipally treated water is generally a safe bet, although, as you describe, it is not always that appetizing. Just so you know, bottled water can have its contamination issues as well.
