By the way, are local governments checking our water supply for the virus? I know normal treatment should kill CV, but still...

Great question.
Also, how are the stockpiles of their treatment chems doing?
I’ve wondered about muni water treatment chemicals since they locked down the first port back at the end of January.
So I sent an email to out water co and they said they do not test for viruses, and that no virus would survive their chlorination and chemical process. So, of course, my follow up question was, are your chemicals sourced in the US
I’ll let y’all know what they say.
Regarding tap water, from the CDC:
“The COVID-19 virus has not been detected in drinking water. Conventional water treatment methods that use filtration and disinfection, such as those in most municipal drinking water systems, should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.”
I read another article that tap water is more highly regulated than the bottled water people are buying!
Our tap water tastes great (city well water) but we run in through a PUR pitcher too for drinking. I have a few camping filters if we ever have to resort to drinking out of the spring in our neighbor’s yard.
