I don’t but now I want one!

How bad? Hmm. Well, all public water supply is regulated by the EPA and must meet the EPA requirements which in most cases sets the upper limit of how much of a contaminant can be in the water. Lots of “bad” things are naturally occurring in some areas. Requirements are stricter for tap water than for bottled water so it may not make sense to keep buying gallons if the water supplier is not violating the standards. What horror stories are you talking about? Yes, the drinking water is safe. But, infrastructure is old, and replacing it is costly and difficult, so it’s not really a matter of the wells going-bad, more so how to replace the aging infrastructure without a huge cost to the user. You can ask the town to send you the Consumer Confidence Report which should outline everything they add to the water and test results. If you want help interrupting, message me and I’ll help you understand the results.
