I guess it depends on your local water, and your individual
physiology, and your concern about "risk".  People usually think of
risk as slightly affecting everyone.  In fact, it drastically
affects some, and doesn't seem to affect others.  How can you
predict?  Who knows.  Most persons with sensitivities, and many in
the population at large are beginning to drink spring water and
filtered water, for a variety of reasons.  The most common one is
simpy a reaction to chlorine or other substances in city water.
Some people do it for the taste.  Others are concerned about
chlorohydrocarbons which can cause cancer.  Some are sensitive to
flouride, which has been shown to have at least as many bad effects
as good ones, although the american dental association denies this
is proven. (The AMA also recommends mercury fillings, which cause
health problems in some poeple.)
