Just be sure they add the aluminum sulfate at the correct stage, and don't lie to the entire population saying it is safe to drink and bathe in. Oh wait...

Southern New Jersey is known for good water. When I was up there with FEMA they seemed to think that it came down out of the mountains without getting polluted too badly.

The tap water quality where I live is so high that it would be illegal if bottled water-quality water came out of the tap as bottled water is about six times dirtier than our tap water xD . They use it for an analysis demo lab experiment in first or second year Chemistry at my local university.

I'm sure the official explanation is that someone checks the water multiple times a day and the slightest change is investigated, obviously we consumers are only shown the official government instigated "random" checks because no-one bothers to do stats and make pretty graphs every day. Of course if it did fail it would be faked but the problem would be fixed - they can't have all their worker slaves getting ill from dodgy water.  No need to make them live too long though...

Nice!  Do you live at the bottom of a glacier or near a spring?

No, basically a swamp  :)) .

The soil here is based on sand and river clay, it acts as a natural filter for the rain (which is plentiful).

Makes sense when you put it like that.  Fancy the challenge of marketing "swamp water" to the health conscious American public?  "God" made the mud so might be easier than it sounds!
