The statement that there is little reason to question the safety of municipal water is ridiculous. Tell it to the folks in Woburn, MA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woburn,_Massachusetts). Why would you make a statement like that with no source for your information? Municipal water is safe everywhere and there is "little reason to question the safety of the water, even if the taste is a little off"? Wrong. There is probably a reason that the taste is off. Wouldn't you like to know what that reason is? This is a big country and there are wide variations in water quality, water delivery systems, and standards for water filtering. It is irresponsible to make an overly-broad statement about all municipalities, all delivery systems, and all standards.

If you are going to make a claim like this, back it up with a scientific source, preferable a legitimate one.

Bleach is not only not needed, but it should be avoided. It will just bleach the mold, killing some, but not all, of it. Use plain white vinegar form the grocery store, at full strength. Spray it on and let it dry.
