This is why I've been drinking Reverse Osmosis water for 30 years. It gets out 99.99% of pollutants including radioactive components. only water molecules get through the diaphragm filter. 10 times cleaner than bottled water.

Drinking only RO water is horrible to your health unless you are taking mineral supplements.

I make water for the my municipality for a living and this article reeks to me. DBP or THM as we call is all part of the process of making clean safe drinking water. Are they minutely harmful? Possibly but not nearly as bad as the article makes it out to be.
Why they would switch from alum is strange as its dirt cheap compared to other chemicals methods.it is for us anyway but we service around 6500 homes.
The remedy for THMs is to simply turn up your chlorine to reach the break point. You always want to much chlorine vs to little. To much chlorine your water might smell strong to little and you might die from a gastrointestinal upset or get hepatitis,cholera, or even botulism.
If they really did alter or falsify records that's a big bad no no however when dealing with water. Same with changing sample locations and the labelling of them.
I drink the water I make each and every day with confidence.

What system do you have for treating water? Also, can I ask what part of Canada?
