Although tap water is regulated and cleaned for any chemicals and germs, some can still slip through. The people most at risk of getting a disease from tap water are children, pregnant women, older adults, and people with weak immune systems. Some chemicals that contaminate water are lead, nitrate, and arsenic. These chemicals can lead to diseases such as Salmonella, Enterovirus, and more. You can reduce the risk of these diseases by investing in a water filter.
