In DC we had a lot of issues with lead in the water. Turns out that the water pipes were made of lead. They've been changing them out bit by bit, I'm not sure if they've finished yet or not. But I've been filtering ever since, even though I don't live in DC anymore. For drinking, I like my Bobble.
http://www.waterbobble.com/ I can fill it from any tap and the water tastes great. Just replace the filter every couple months. We also have a fridge with ice and water in the door, that filters the water as well.
