My mostly Hispanic hometown's water was mixed with recycled poo water. It was heavily filtered and processed and was probably safe... But still.

It also had a chemical taste to it.

Edit: In the US

I think it's important to visit the water treatment plant to see how the thing's done. They normally should be doing group visits for residents, but if they aren't allowing it, then that'd be an even bigger reason not to drink it.

It's also genuinely interesting!

In elementary, we had a field trip to the water treatment plant. It stunk... badly 🤢, but it was cool learning how it worked.
