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?

    I'm so happy that my city has some of the best tap water in the country. It's undrinkable a few miles in any direction due to cattle ranchers pouring nitrates into it, but here it's pure enough to use in coffee or water sensitive plants with.
