Is London tap water truly safe to drink?!


Question: Is London tap water truly safe to drink?
Some chemicals, and even human hormones are too small to be filtered when recycled. In a city where the water is reused 7 times, it is safe for the long term?

Answers:

The water can be quite hard, so extra care is needed with white goods, shower heads and so on.

Estrogen can be found in the water, and this has been reported to cause man boobs!

However, will it kill you or make you sick? No!

I am a londoner



The population of London is approx 7,700,000. They are all drinking the water without coming to any harm.
That is sufficient evidence to me that the water in London is safe to drink.



All the water in the world has been drunk 7 - 8 times before, the tap water in London is as safe as anywhere else in the country, and safer than most other countries in the world.



I have been drinking it for most of my life and I find nothing wrong with it. So it seems pretty safe to me.



Yes.



I drink it and I like it, have for a long time.
