Water is Water Except for the Taste
There is a reason to filter your municipal water. Consumer Confidence Reports, which have been mailed out the last few weeks, all say the same thing: the vast majority of Illinois' public water supplies, including those in Central Illinois, are safe for drinking straight out of the tap.
Where water comes from and how it is treated contribute directly to the different characteristics in smell, taste and appearance that vary from community to community.
"We ensure the public water supplies are safe," said David McMillan, a section manager in the public water supply division for the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. "What we don't have is the jurisdiction to make people put out pleasant-tasting water.
Each source has its advantages and disadvantages, said Steve Gerdes, Normal's water director, as reported in The Pentagraph.
An inexpensive KDF based water filter will make all municipal water taste better than bottled water, and be safer too.
