Apparently it was not potable in the past, and residents had to go to water stations to pick up drinking water...they allegedly fixed this by added reverse osmosis filtration. And yes, almost all bottled water is tap/ground water put through a carbon filter. We're animals, and our bodies can handle the tap water. You should see what my cats drink outside...yikes.
