I have never once seen copepods in my water, but ever since the business with the tap water, I am unable to drink it unless it is bottled water. I will use tap water for everything but straight drinking. BTW, ALL spigots in the kitchen have filters on them, whether or not you bought the “special” filters. I unscrewed the one that was on my sink, to replace it, because it sprung a leak, and found that it had a mesh filter in it. All the ones at the hardware store were the same. So theroretically, you could never drink sink water on Shabbos (Boreir) from long before this whole issue came to light. How come no one said anything before that?????? The copepods have never been visible to me, though some people have told me they saw it in Brooklyn water. I thought the halacha was that it only matters if the bugs are visible to the normal naked eye. Otherwise, if we could REALLY see what is crawling over our produce and ALL OTHER FOOD AND DRINK, we would be so disgusted, we could never eat anything EVER.
