Well, the thing about municipal water that I wonder about is the impact of chlorine...as I understand it they put it in the water to keep the pipes from getting contaminated by bacteria etc. The thing is, they have to put enough in the water at the source (the water plant) to be effective at the most remote ends of the system...so if you live close to the plant you would be drinking more chlorine that at the fringes...

Also, I wonder about floride, are there different types of flouride and which is being used in the water...

Anyways, I know very little about this topic but I am curious. One thing is for sure, and that is potable water is probably going to be increasingly valuable/rare in our lifetimes
