The quality of the blue stuff flowing from your tap is likely to be better than any other water ever piped to anyone at any time in history before yours. Enjoy.

I don't know about the quality of your water, but where I live tap water is cleaner and safer than bottled water. 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Non Beve la Aqua!!
Baby is doing a tour of the northern Hemisphere and has to purchase ALL of her drinking/ toothbrushing water because most of it is un-potable. Here in Perth I would NOT drink the tap-water (out of the faucet) as there are some rather interesting bacteria and fungi that tend to grow around the shower and so I am happy to use Brita filters for my drinkable water... I go through about a litre a day. Worth it imho...stop your whining.

I will occasionally use a water filter... but, in Scotland our water is pretty good. We have nice clean soft water.

One of the few places left in the Northern Hemisphere ...I am to understand.

Save water, drink whisky and beer

Indeed, AND a chlorine smell in a swimming pool does not mean too much chlorine,but the opposite.
