I remember doing that while living in Taiwan. At least the climate in Boston makes having lukewarm water more bearable. When you are sweating in a tropical summer the last thing you want is a warm glass of water.
I'll get flamed, but I feel that way about most the water supply in the U.S. Ever look at the reports per county for what is in your water supply here? I don't care what anyone says, most of those contaminates listed aren't acceptable to me at any level. I hate the fact that I have to shower or brush my teeth with it. Even worse are the chemicals they use to "clean" it, which doesn't get things like medications out,…
BTW, did you know that natural spring water has contaminants too? And the water in every other country? Maybe the level of contaminants is better in some places, but you don't seem to be paying attention to that.
And did you know that all filters do is reduce the level of contaminants? There is no such thing as an absolutely perfect filter.
Wow, that's one big pipe. Though, you'd think the pressure inside the pipe would be greater than outside it, nullifying any immediate risk of contamination from other water sources.
It was right under a main street (it's standard procedure to put large pipes under streets so you can get to them if anything goes wrong) and within 10 minutes the street looked like an earthquake had hit it - the massive amount of almost boiling water simply eroded the foundation under the street and washed it away. Tonnes and tonnes of 80 degree hot muddy water gushed up and flowed down the street to a nearby low-lying town square that quickly filled up. Luckily they got it shut off within 20 minutes, but it looked like the gates of hell had been opened with all that water and steam just spewing out of the ground.
Luckily nobody was hurt, but it was an interesting experience.

Boil it then put it in the refrigerator?

(Sorry, had to, since EVERY Boston sports team plays it after a game)

You know the computer monitor you're sitting in front of is giving off radiation , right? Which is also bad for you at any level. The brick wall behind the monitor is giving off radiation too, for that matter.
I love that dirty water, OOOOOO Boston you're my home!!!! (Sorry, had to, since EVERY Boston sports team plays it after a game)
