Not only can this be harmful when you’re drinking water, but also when you’re taking a shower, brushing your teeth, etc. The easiest thing you can do to avoid toxic tap water is to get some sort of filtration system whether it’s individually on your shower head, sink, or through your entire house with a whole-house filtration system.
