I can, most of the time. 
I worry about the chemicals in it, though.  Sometimes it smells like bleach, and I won't chance it.

I also use a Brita pitcher for drinking water.

We can drink our faucet water and luckily, I haven't noticed any strange tastes. I feel for those who have had to deal with their water issues. Just one more thing that I don't take for granted.

Yes I do drink my water out of the faucet at home.  It is safe.  I have to drink a lot of water because of a kedney infection.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe. :)

Yes, we drink our faucet water, we have well water. I won't drink city water, so if we go out to eat I always order tea to cover the taste. My well water is very good.

I live in suburban Oregon and we have bottling companies that sell the water that comes out of our faucets.

We can but don't unless we use our Brita.  Right now I'm out of filters so we're drinking bottled.   I always have bottled water on hand to use going out or working in the yard.  I think it's wise to keep your receipts for your water.  Never know, you might be able to get some kind of credit.   I would certainly look into it.  Maybe get your local newspaper to do a story and create more information.   Go to a city/county meeting - call and request to be able to speak at one of the meetings.   The more people you get behind you the better.

With all the ingredients they put in water, it's not fit to drink.  I have used a filter on my sink for years.

I probably could but I don't.  I buy reverse osmosis water at a nearby grocery store.  I have dietary restrictions because what I consume and don't consume has a determines how well I feel. 

It's all part of being a foodie.   :heart:
Have a great day!
