When I lived in India we would never touch the local water that came through the city system.
There was a lot of mixing between sea water and ground water so it was never wise to drink let alone use the water for anything.

We'd purchase a tanker of water and fill up our well sort of thing. the water we drank would first go through an (reverse?) osmosis process then get boiled.

I'm gonna say Fact! They could make the tools to do it, why not cut out the middle man and do the work yourself?

I would assume that since colonial era dentistry probably consisted of pulling teeth, the guy with the pliers would be the one to do it. Fact...

FACT or CRAP ?



FACT If tap water reaches a temperature of between 40 degrees and 140 degrees Fahrenheit, it begins to breed bacteria.

Order a beer!
While this is true, it's still crap. Actually dangerous bacteria is extremely rare in drinking water in the US and other industrialized nations.
