I won't use tank water for my everyday EIS ingestion, but I do use it in conjunction with an old battery generator for emergency use cos I can get high silver content solution...and real quick. Ideally it would be good if I could collect it straight from the sky rather than runoff from the galvo roof, but I'm not that bothered about it, I've been drinking it for over 40 years and I'm still alive and kicking <g>.
I live in a steel producing town too, but then I got a lead smelter a few K's across the water on one side and a power station 70 odd K's up the road from here so you can imagine what crap is in the air from these three industries, nevertheless, I know it isn't going to kill me, or turn me blue or green or whatever other colour, so I don't have a problem with it...for the circumstances and duration in which I use it. That's not been my 'thinking' but rather my 'practice' for several years now. I use 'El-cheapo' DW for normal everyday consumption of EIS, under $1 a litre here. N.

What is the current thinking on using rain water for making CS? I seem to recall that in the past the general opinion was that one should only use distilled. I have to buy my distilled water, and although here in Western Australia that is at least possible, it is expensive and inconvenient. This Australian winter, I expect to have access to fresh rain water, and have been thinking of bringing it home in big clear water fountain bottles and using that for drinking water (we do have reverse osmosis, but I am gathering from what I read that some of the worst chemicals are not actually completely filtered out by the filters) and also perhaps for CS unless there is some overwhelming reason why it should not be so used. I would upend the bottles on our ceramic water dispenser and use it for general consumption also. This water would be gathered on a huge metal roof and stored in metal rainwater tanks. I suspect this might engender some potential objection, but I don't know. I would go and fill the bottle for a charitable donation, and bring them home for use. The first rains of the season would be allowed to run away to flush dust off the roof before it was directed via simple filters to the new tanks. It would be collected in the country from clouds probably blown up from Antarctica, anyway from the Indian or Southern Oceans. Why I like this idea is that the bottles would not come from a factory that is forced by law to "protect" the inside of the storage bottle with chemicals for "hygiene". It would also not contain echoes or particles or suggestions of water treatment chemicals; although our water here is basically of high quality, it does have standard chemicals added to it.
