What kind of terrible things are in city tap water?

by admin

I understand it’s pretty much just filtered poo, right? What kinds of horrible things make it through to your tap? Chlorine? Bacteria? Fecal particles? Other stuff?

And which of these things do home water filters remove?
How do those things end up in your water?
