After seeing a blurb in the news mega about the US needing nearly half a trillion dollars for drinking water infrastructure, I wonder about my own family's water safety.

I have up to now been under the impression that tap water is safe to drink, eschewing borrowed water for environmental purposes but maybe I should be thinking about a filtration system.

We live in an apartment with old bones in a city that has had lead in its school pipes in the past.

How do the netizens of Hexbear filter and enjoy their drinking water?

    There are services that you can send water to and they will send a report back. I used Ward Laboratories

      I used Ward Labs for my tap water since I'm a home brewer. Price was pretty reasonable. In hindsight I really don't tweak the water much so not exactly sure why I did it, but was good to have the info.
