In a municipal water system? Absolutely. Depending on your location in
the system the analysis of your tap water can be far outside allowable
standards, something the anti bottled water loons pretend doesn't exist.
Municipal water systems test at the source plant daily, but they only
test at the extents of the system to a minimal amount to meet annual
testing requirements. Even those annual testing requirements allow a
percentage of the samples from the far reaches of the system to exceed
allowable contaminant levels.
