Fluoride was the main reason why my family started drinking exclusively RO water over 10 years ago. You don’t realize the difference until you try the city water again after a while and notice the smell of chlorine. The city water quality report also shows arsenic and a bunch of other chemicals, but perhaps the most concerning is the pharmaceutical drugs that pass through in wastewater or just get dumped down the toilet. None of that is tested or filtered at the water treatment facility, nor is any of it in the report.
I do water treatment and our own EPA says not to ingest water over 500ppm; globally it is 700ppm.
There are so many cities over 500ppm in WI and a couple over 700ppm. It's truly a crime.

Absolutely. Spot. F'n. On.
The acceptable amount of arsenic and these toxic elements is 0.
