Hehehe....
It depends... I think in SJ esp in SS14, we encountered alot of burst water pipes last time... So, plenty of teh-tarik water for all.... Not too sure about other parts of SJ tho...
RO water is like battery water/distilled water...no minerals left in it. Some call it 'dead water'. Actually recent studies have shown that ppl who take RO water on the long run suffer from more decay of the teeth due to the lack of flouride found in normal water. And apparently the lack of minerals in the water makes the water totally non beneficial for us.
the teh tarik colour is the sediments and most of the time, rust. Water found at the treatment plant is very very clean...up to about 99% clean. But the problem is not with the water treatment plants & pumping stations...problem is most of the pipes that carry the water to our hse is rusty...thus the 'teh o' water we get. Sometimes in the morning when u turn on the tap u can actually smell the rust.
Boiling water won't help. You can only remove chlorine from water if you boil....and that's if leave at boiling point for at least 20 mins (by that time all water also evaporate liao...hehehe).
So if don't filter properly, you can leave your boiled water in a mineral water for a few days. You'll find sediments at the bottom after a few days

Found this from a website... worth a read... and i welcome comments...
"Two things contribute to tartar on the teeth and to gum disease: 1. Quality of food and 2. Type of water provided. Foods containing non-organic, low quality sources of meat, sugary ingredients and high carbs contribute to dental disease. Drinking distilled water will help prevent tartar or calcium build up on a dog's teeth and under the gum line thus reducing the incidence of tooth loss and gingivitis. Chlorine, Chloramine and other chemicals used to treat city water can cause severe allergic reactions in pets. Any pet with allergy symptoms such as itching, dandruff or hair loss, should always drink distilled water exclusively. Pugs with breathing problems should never drink tap water due to their high incidence of allergies and their crowded teeth. - Per a visit I had with Dr. Robert Wiggs, Dallas, Texas - The leading dental vet in the country, plus an officer and one of six Diplomates teaching for the American Veterinary Dental College"

hmm..useful information.. and yes, our furkids' skin improved since fed on distilled water..and also found out that their teeth are also not so "yellowish"...
