    Where I live has heavy agriculture and oil industry presence. People here are concerned over pesticides and random chemicals randomly seeping into the water system.

        The water is tested and 99% of the time it is probably safe to drink. But who knows how much of it you will drink before it is discovered (and then even longer to reveal) that there was an issue with the water.
