You could live like locals and just boil the water. It doesn't get rid of everything in there, but it's better than drinking straight from the tap. I run mine through a Brita filter first. I know that the Brita doesn't actually do much, but it tastes much better at least.

Depends where you live. I have fine tapwater and drink it, but if I was even 1% worried - I would pony up for the 5 gallon jugs of bottled water. Life is too short to save $10 a month and die of cancer.

Except my friends tell me that the big water dispenser jug services are actually not trustworthy. Heck, this is a country that is currently experiencing a big vaccine safety scandal that's hard to imagine happening in many other countries. Then again, I wouldn't have imagined Flint's water problem to be as bad as it is, but something similar once happened in Canada too in a small town that found e.coli in their water. BTW, if it's not clear, my comments are regarding China.

Ya, avoid the big water dispensers. We just buy boxes of bottled water now.
