Specializes in Family Medicine

Do not drink it: If the drinking water near your house has been tested and has problems-find out what they are. You can buy bottled water or invest in a certified water purifier that can hook up to your tap, or ven more expensive ones that can be installed by a plumber at your source pipe coming into your house.
