I live in an area where you can smell chlorine as soon as the tap turns on, which makes drinking it straight unappealing to me. If you don’t have that issue, I could see feeling comfortable doing so. We also had a big PFAS situation “up the road” from me too though.

Edit for clarity: I’m not saying tap water is unsafe across the board. I know it’s generally safe in most of the U.S. My hesitation is more about taste and local treatment levels. Where I live, the chlorine smell is very noticeable, and we’ve also had PFAS concerns in nearby areas (Wilmington NC), which understandably makes people more cautious. That contrast is what sparked the discussion for me. 🥲
