perhaps you mis-read. water companies -always-
add things to water, to kill off germs, balance mineral content,
etc.. they do this to -meet- the "higher" standards.
and by their tampering, they pollute the water...
their pollution may make the water drinkable and safe.
does n ot change the fact that the water was tampered with.
