NEWS: Airline Water Quality

Hey...how about a nice refreshing glass of water while we all sit back and try to come to terms with the mountain of money lost by the airlines last year. According to the EPA you might want to make sure that water didn't come from the lavatory or galley water system on the aircraft. The EPA is still finding contaminents in the water... mostly coliform bacteria. Opinions seem mixed on on just how dangerous this is but there you have it. I wonder how the water on an aircraft compares to the stuff coming out of my faucet at home?
