At my former employer, the tap water was so bad that even a Britta filter didn't help much. (Former NASA Administrator Dan Goldin once made a speech where he commented that the tap water in the South Bay region of So. Cal. was so bad that he ALWAYS drank bottled water.)
Rather than drink this swill or periodically haul in a couple of gallons of filtered water from a safe source, I'd go out to the company's de-ionized water system (which wasn't used too often) and fill up a couple of gallon jugs with it. I told them that the water in the system had to be run through periodically to ensure that it didn't build up any organic contaminants. Which was true.
The water was quite tasty and clean and made great tea.
