This might sound funny but the water you drinking might kill you not help you to a better life. Even if the government promise safe water in the tap there can be pollution on the way and that will lead to big problem and cost if you for example get cancer.
A test cost as little $25 and I do not have to tell you how much cancer or other illness will cost you and your family.
After you done this water test that you can do in most universities you can sit down and search for different filter for the water. Make sure you test the water even after the filter is in place you never know if it works. If filter fails as well try Bottle water or complain to the water authority in your city.
