Drinkable Water?

China Daily said yesterday that Beijing has become the first city in China to meet the required safety standards of potable water. The article says the new, clean tap water passed 106 quality tests, but I have to wonder just what the standards of drinking water are in a city like Beijing. Would you drink it?
