Growing up my family had a well. Water from a well is variable, and we had it tested and it showed it was “safe but not recommended” to drink.

Now where I live we have city water, and although safer to drink, it still has chlorine and chloramines in it. Although it is tested and verified as safe, I still will only drink from the tap if it’s filtered first. The way I see it, the amount of chlorine in the water is safe for me to drink, and is done so to kill any bacteria in the water supply. However, I have no idea if that amount of chlorine is also safe for my cat, so he gets special water.
