With some exceptions (e.g. Flint, MI) tap water is very clean already, cleaner than a lot of bottled water in some cases.

Have you ever had tap water from San Jose, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas?

Vegas, yes. What was wrong with it?

Maybe we should also stop building cities in arid regions, expecting that remote water resources will keep feeding them.

yep - but that doesn't do much good if people overwhelmingly /think/ otherwise.
