Talk about fear mongering. Water in areas where there is a lot of granite instead of limestone tends to have a lower PH. We have that here. Just flush the pipes for a few minutes if the water has set in them for hours.
I would drink my well water any day over the sewage mixed chlorinated reservoir water.

We get ours from the Quabbin Reservoir, which is not treated with chlorine, but ozone, and is quite good.
Thank God. There is not water in Hell.
