Plus,while there have to be fears of procedural breakdown with any system like this, U.S. municipal water providers have an amazing track record of providing extremely clean healthy drinking water.

Huge parts of the country drink water that prior to going into the drinking system are exposed to all kinds of environmental contaminations (all those fish eating, pooping, and dying up in the Hetch Hetchy reservoir, for example). The industrial waste that goes into the Mississippi at Minneapolis is to some degree in the water when it is sucked out of the river at St. Louis for drinking water.
