 I drank tap water at hundreds of different homes throughout Northern California. In my own homes, I took it straight from the tap, cooked with it, brushed my teeth with it and showered in it, and made Jello and ice cubes with it. And nothing ever happened.There is a slew of discussions about contaminants in tap water.
