Aka123 - you are absolutely correct. We do forget or simply ignore the fact that the open water supply is contaminated on its way to the treatment plants. I recall a Hugh Howser video on the California pipe line disclosing all that goes into the water (dead animals included) before it is processed and distributed to the people.
As bad as it is already I would hope people stand up and complain in an effort to not allow things to become even worse.
