Well, as a garden hose drinker from back in the day, I’m here to tell you that it was run through a filter. It’s just that that filter was back at the water treatment plant. Same thing with public water fountains, which were everywhere. We’re not that goddamned tough. We weren’t slurping pond water through a straw or something like that.

I did used to drink stream water without a life straw or other filter…
My filter was the rain clouds.
I was also in the back country on the side of a mountain, so likely just a little animal dung and brain eating amoeba.
Yeah, drinking from the hose was a lot less problematic than just breathing the air, which was full of tetraethyl lead.
