    Some good info. can be found here>>> http://dnr.wi.gov/org/water/dwg/copper.htm#expose

    Basically, we need copper but too much can be bad for our health. Drinking water may contain high levels of copper so filtering the water is a good idea, especially if it has passed through copper piping. You should probably be more concerned about other substances in tap water, such as fluoride.

    Depends on the water hardeness I think too, the copper is leached out from the pipes into the water in some areas more tha others.
