NYC Water

"New York City is renowned for its great-tasting tap water, which is said to be amongst the purest in the country. However, when viewed under a microscope, the sight tends to disagree with the taste. Less than a year ago, it was reported that when looking at a microscopic droplet of this water, a NYC resident found tiny crustacean-like creatures floating around. The creatures—known as copepods—attack and eat mosquito larvae, helping to give the water its pure taste and are purportedly harmless to humans. While this may seem like a shocking discovery, Scientific American magazine had already reported on creepy crawling water dwellers in their October 10, 1846 issue."
