I have found, though, that I can drink more water if it's cold and clean. I live in Fairfax County, VA which has no reservoirs . . . we drink reconstituted river water. I added an undersink filter PLUS a Brita pitcher and thus double filter the water and keep it cold. I find it much easier to drink a lot of it now as a result.
