A few weeks back prescription drugs showing up in tap water was in all the headlines. Today I noticed a article on azcentral.com saying that the City of Phoenix has done extensive testing and found no traces of drugs in their water. This is just another reassurance that tap water is great to drink.
Phoenix drinking water received a clean bill of health Monday after extensive testing found no pharmaceuticals in the water supply.
Tests conducted by an independent laboratory at each of Phoenix’s six water treatment plants showed no traces of drugs and met all standards of the Environmental Protection Agency, officials said at an afternoon press conference.
“I’m pleased today to report that Phoenix tap water meets all EPA requirements . . . and that no trace of pharmaceuticals were found in any of the tests,” Mayor Phil Gordon said. “Providing safe and healthy water to our residents (is something that) we do very well.”

Yay! I was wondering when we would hear more about this locally, thanks for the post. All the more reason to avoid bottled water and all of the waste it produces.
It would be interesting if they did these tests on bottled water from municipal sources.
