That does sound terribly awful, except I am rather addicted to tea so I'd be pleased about having the tea, but I would not like to not have drinking water available easily. Like where I live faucet water is pretty safe but I realize in some places it's probably better to drink bottled water.
It's horrible because I'm used to my house with the AC blasting, and my filtered water / ice dispenser on the fridge. I always have multiple glasses of ice water going at any given time (ADHD). My partner doesn't have a water thing on the fridge but he has AC and there's always lots of cold drinks / ice. I honestly think dehydration played a big part in my mum falling and breaking her hip. Her kidneys barely work (30%) and I picture them shrivelled up like raisins.
