A tremendous amount of drinking water comes from water treatment plants. In order to make it safe to drink, it has to go through pretty rigorous process, and they have to add quite a bit to the water.
Oh I don't know a lot of the details, as far as how the water is tested, what studies are done, threshold's of what is safe, and most of all, who gets to decide and how it is decided.
I can tell you one thing, I have spent a lot of time in the mountains, and if I had the pleasure of drinking from springs. My hometown had "decent" tasting water, but the water where I'm at now taste like absolute garbage. I have been told they add quite a bit to the water, and some people have complained when they moved to the area they had to stop drinking the tapwater because it made them feel ill.
Few sources of treated water tastes as good as a spring. Using an osmosis filtration system will greatly help though.One party system; Most Republicans are Democrats, but no Democrats are Republicans.

There's sufficient documentation of micro-plastics, endocrine disrupting chems, birth control, etc... etc... in tap water. Then there's fluoride, but there's arguments on both sides of the fence for that.
Also, my tap water tastes like ass (major city) and no matter how much of it I drink, I still feel thirsty.
For years I've gotten spring water delivered straight to me. Granted, it comes in plastic bottles, but it's hard plastics and it tastes 1,000x better.
As another poster pointed out.... for anyone that's had fresh water that is tapped from mountain springs, it's next level compared to normal tap water. My father in law has a lake house in the New England Mountains and the tap water is local and it's incredible.

Yes it's poisoned, we know that without debate. The question is if the poisons accumulate enough to cause health problems.
I have a tds meter. In Seattle, my tap water had a tds per million in the 30's - basically bottled water. It was so soft I had to artificially harden it to keep fish and plants alive in my aquarium.
When I tested my az tap water, it was in the high 700's. I know a lot of that dissolved solid is just calcium and magnesium, but I don't trust it. Way too much junk in there.
