Tri-Halo-Methane.
It is literally the by-product of a kid peeing in a public swimming pool. Seriously.
The normal water treatment process is as follows:
Get the water.
Strain out any big floaters.
Add some chemicals to nuke the bacteria.
Filter the chemicals (and by-products) out.
Consume.
Apparently it’s okay to ignore some steps. The Trihalomethane count is actually so high that you are warned not to take a bath in it. Showers are okay though… How does that make sense!? Potable water is provided, but it’s only filtered so far. I use (and recommend to all) a filter on everything.
