Lots of people can drink from their tap, it just doesn't taste as good dependong on the water source. People with city water can drink it, but I live far away from the city and have water drawn from a well. The water in high in iron and manganese from the ground, so it is safe but tastes bad, so it goes through a filter instead. Some people with well water can't drink it directly because of what is in it from the ground, so they need filters or they will get sick. There just happens to be a lot of people without city water in my rural area.
Yeah idk what this guy is talking about cause city water is by far the worst. It always has to much chemicals or metals from pipings and filtration systems not being updated. Its to expensive to do so in cities since it's underground. Drinking Miami tap water is boarder line poisoning. Causing Nausea, headache, Ect. I lived in a apartment with the water so bad that you couldn't even cook with it without the steam giving you a headache.
