is tap water safe in england

because i heard about 80s singer feargal sharkey campaigning for clean water recently, so it made me wonder if the water we drink/consume is clean?

I believe it is safe to drink straight from the tap. However I would seriously question ..how safe?


I boil my drinking water from the tap first, cool and then refrigerate it.

This method I am sure is certainly safer than bottled water which has a shelf life that lasts years ..

Water that's been in a plastic bottle then stored in a warehouse for years on end. Is not certainly not my idea of healthy.

Convenient .. maybe but not ideal.
I'd rather pre-boil freshly run from a UK tap. Then purchase from a stockroom.
