New potable water regulation for Canada. Starts September

Every now and then I see discussion where people are concerned about the water served on board. Even if you only drink from the bottled water, coffee, tea, and the ramen cup noodles sometimes served are all made with the water on board.
I guess starting September it'll be a little better? Until then, don't drink the water..

Is there really any reason to be concerned? Have there ever been any documented issues from on-board water? All the article linked mentions is some change in the frequency of requirements for water testing on board aircraft.
But then again, at home I cheerfully drink unfiltered tap water (on the road, varies by where I am). Seems there's a whole industry dedicated to people to whom the thought of that gives the willies...

Well, Canada does the hold the record among developed nations for killing people through tainted drinking water. See:

There are more than a few small towns across Canada where I would not drink the tap water.
