Water is very important. Our body consists of 75% water. So is the earth we live in. (Learning to swim is a real advantage should you have to be on that 3/4 part of the earth than the safe 1/4 part.)
Sad to say, though, water from the tap is not as potable as it used to before. About a decade ago, I used to drink from the tap and nothing bad happened. Our neighbors bought potable water by the 5-gal container. We’ve been drinking that for months when we discovered that indeed, the water was not potable. We were just protected by God’s hands not be infected. Knowing and not doing something about it will be foolish so we bought our drinking water ever since.
From the house we came from 3 months ago, my brother lent me his water filter. Now that we’re far from them, we buy again by the 5-gal container. It’s good that the water station is just a few steps away from where we live. 
It’s better to be safe than sorry. My stomach is very sensitive that my waste turns into water within a few minutes of being contaminated (that’s why I say it’s a miracle when nothing happened while we were drinking from the dirty tap).
