So........ if you have a question about the quality of pennsic water.. carry
a gallon of bleach with you and an eyedropper... a few drops per gallon and
the water is potable.  It might taste a bit funky but it is drinkable.. and
no not due to bleach if you don't overdo it.  If you do let it sit over
night and the taste will disappear, bleach taste that is.
I sail boats.. I sail in some truly funky places.. I drink the local water
that goes into the boat tanks.. before we fill I put in bleach.  cheap and
solves pretty much any problem.  I have other methods of water purification
but this one is the cheapest.  One can also buy water purification tablets
online.
I drank the water at Coopers for yrs.. am still alive to tell the tale.  I
seem to remember it had a bit of a mineral taste.. shrug... cannot be any
worse than the "iron water" I grew up drinking in SC.
YMMV
