As for tank water, it is perfectly safe to drink. Anyone who isn't too keen, you can get a 2 micron filter fitted. Bird poo is 5 microns so it doesn't get through.
You may have seen many houses don't have the TV aerial over the roof. This is so the birds don't crap all over the roof and spoil the rain water.
God, will my supply of useless information never end???

In fact I've heard that down deadvim's way, people actually install extra TV aerials for that purpose.

It's not just bird crap that can get in your tank water, there are lots of chemicals that get added from it falling through the sky onto your roof and into your tank and if you live in a rural area dont think that it's safer.
Pesticides, fungicides, insecticides, lots of chemicals used in farming. nitrogen and sulfur compounds can be carried 1000's of miles in the air, and diesel particulate is 0.1 micrometers.
I personally would not drink tank water.

Hi Asp...I can confirm that they were insulting me and that I'm very glad to be insulted. If they are having a go at me, then they are leaving some other poor sod alone.

It's a bit like anything, drugs like antibiotics in small doses over a sustained period of time have very beneficial health effects, in larger doses over shorter times they will kill you.

It all depends on the levels that were released usually fluoride is added at 1ppm anything over 10ppm can start to cause fluorosis. The dose and length of exposure would need to be taken into account before determining if the dose was toxic.
