well water or city water

I lived in an apartment complex for 11 years and it was owned by the university I worked for....thought the well water was really good, it was soft water and made my hair and skin really soft....within a year of me moving out there was a big stink raised by the students who found out it was high in arsenic. They ended up having to switch over to city water and pay for it. I was drinking city water and filtering it with a Brita filter and about 10 years later it came out that the city was really high in chromium....no telling what that has done to my health or even down the road what it will do.
