Depending on where you live, I wouldn't think so....In Edmonton north east London there is a huge government local council incinerator plant ...it's been there nearly fifty years and what comes out of its chimney gets taken by the winds across northen Europe and is killing all the forests and polluting so many of the lakes....it kills fish in the waters and god knows what else to..
I lived on it the first 2 years of my life. We didn't have a water-line at that time so my folks caught rain water in an old cistern and would have to pour a little kerosene on top every now and then to keep wiggle tails out of it. There's not a frig around that can keep water as cool as that cistern could.
Yeah. I do, however, sometimes allow myself to get stressed pretty easily, wherever I find myself. I'm getting way better at dealing, though. Actually, I don't live in a very large city, though, either, ha! :)
Not any longer. I am old enough to remember what real fresh artesian water tasted like. We used to water the yard with it and drink right out of the hose. Pollution has ruined air and water.
Reservoirs (inadequate) and desalinated seawater (unreliable), supplemented by drawing from the Murray River (polluted af). Heavily treated, hard as nails and smells like a swimming pool. It's safe enough, just unpleasant.
