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?
In my house I installed a 2 stage filter at the supply line. Helps with the longevity of the appliances and filters your tap water. Water system in my area is pretty fucked and my neighbors will occasionally have muddy or cloudy water and mine is perfectly clear. When I do the semi annual replacement for the filters it's very clear a lot of impurities get trapped. If others are able, I'd strongly recommend a whole home filter system like that as our nation's infrastructure continues to crumble.
For OP, I'd probably look into some kind of pitcher filter for the time being or an attachment that can be affixed to the sink you usually get your cooking or drinking water from. You can also get filters to attach to the heads of showers which I did in apartments prior
