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?

    :downbear: EWG is not a reliable source they are major fearmongers. There are a lot of things to be worried about with tap water in the US but they just like, make up their own "safe threshold levels" and such and fearmonger over anything they can to promote "natural" alternatives.

    Not to say all water filtration is a bad idea they just aren't the place to get your info about whether your water is safe.
