Contaminated tap water: Is it in your faucet?

I know this study was in Norman, and not very scientific as far as samples go, but... What about OKC, is it better?

I've always heard that OKC tap water was very good. I did a quick Google search of "best city tap water" and OKC was in the top 15 cities on all of the many sites that came up.

OKC uses surface water while Norman pumps ground water from an aquifer. Apples and oranges.

Norman's is a combination of well water and Lake Thunderbird.

OKC gets water from two sources. From NW Oklahoma via Lake Hefner, and from SE Oklahoma via Lake Draper. The true sources escape me at the moment. The taste of water in OKC varies depending whether you are north or south. The tap water I get comes from SE Oklahoma and I think it tastes great. The northside stuff tastes strange to me...maybe more alkaline.
