You can do that or you can boil your water put it in a pitcher and then put it in the fridge. Some places are having trouble with the lead in the tap water.

Our water here is so nasty that we always get a report on it in the mail saying not to drink it, especially infants, pregnant women and elderly. The only time we drink it is when I make tea and boil it. Its so gross that sometimes when we run a bath the water will look pee brown, and with bleach alot of times we have to wash our whites 2 or 3 times to get them clean. Yuk. You can probably get a free report from the water department.
