Okay, thanks for answering. I didn't think it was a situation of acid rain, but I would just never think to drink it without at least boiling it first and then going from there.

Agree.  I will be more confident to boil it first before drinking.  I'm sure it is already good as it is, but to make it more drinkable, I guess it is best to boil it.  At least for you and me.  :)
