It's drinkable. It looks like they have a decent water treatment plan. You might want to invest $15 - $25 on a tap water filter if you don't like the tap water taste, but it's good for consumption.

Couldn't say. They've killed bacteria and germs, adjusted the PH, and filtered out bits like dirt and sand to a certain unknown size. That's all good.

If there are heavy metals or chemicals or industrial waste poison in general, they'd still be in there. What's upstream on the McKenzie River?

Cheers.

Almost assuredly. Tap water is much more stringently regulated than bottled water is.

Yes drinkable has lots of nutrients than filtered
