Nah, not suggesting municipal water is unsafe, the pretty vast majority is pretty good. Just saying people who live in the internet tend to do poorly doing things like backpacking. I've watched people just go rub raw water from the stream in their eyes and cup their hands to drink a bunch. Watched a lot of people with a high standard of living suffer doing outdoors stuff over the years.
