Not to be mean about it, but water in any area must be kept watch on. The untreated out-doors water may carry a range of natural bacteria and other parasitic pathogens, but the "city water" can carry a wide range of chemical danger from any manufacturing plant, fracking operation, damaged sewage drains, or housing or commercial buildings leaking septic waste causing fecal contamination.
There's a long history of city water contamination in residential hubs or areas undergoing industrialization, and residents must always be aware of what business practices are close by. There are plenty of recorded cases and movie true stories of law firms going after company waste short-cuts. I don't really want to get into the depressing end of it, but chemical runoff can come from any operation using pesticides, and mix with any surface oil runoff from the street, and it all goes back into the local ground.
The solution to this drinking water issue in the city is "bottled water". I remember in the early 1990s when Hollywood movie stars were the greatest trends setters for buying bottled water. What public usually don't know is that the trend came from "Hollywood business", the producing, management, and executive end of Hollywood who provided services behind movie sets, just a fact supporting that buying water is practical.
Now not everyone likes to buy water, but water is cheap to buy and worth it. If buying water isn't happening, at least have a big pot so that you can boil the water first. Even cooking water, say for recipes that need a cup of water, I use boiled or bottled water. End of post.
