Manganese in drinking water[edit]
Waterborne manganese has a greater bioavailability than dietary manganese. According to results from a 2010 study,[56] higher levels of exposure to manganese in drinking water are associated with increased intellectual impairment and reduced intelligence quotients in school-age children. It is hypothesized that long-term exposure to the naturally occurring manganese in shower water puts up to 8.7 million Americans at risk.[53][57][58]

Don't worry, the private company soon to be collecting fees for selling you that water will give you a small discount if it is unusable.

Where water is unfit for human consumption, affected customers will receive a 50 per cent discount on the water supply charge for the duration of the restriction, and a 100 per cent water supply discount if the disruption is longer than 3 months.
