    Yeah I grew up trusting my local tap water which I drank regularly, and then I saw what happened in Flint and I became a little more wary. I always filter my water at home now.

      You can typically look up your city’s water test results and see what’s in there or do your own testing. The vast majority of municipal water is plenty safe, and most issues with stuff like elevated lead come from the home/building itself, not the municipality.

        This. Unless there is fracking happening near your water supply, check your city/county water reports.
