Does anyone know where I can get a full report of the composition of the residential drinking water for Puerto Sotogrande please?

We can all speculate that 'it is safe to drink' that 'it is harmless to our health' but I need to study this for myself as I have also received residents' claims that it causes harm to our liver and kidneys if drunk. 

We all know that it tastes ghastly but in my opinion that isn't a reason for me to buy bottled water or fit a filter.  Firstly, 97% of bottled water is stored in plastic (and a further percentage of that is stored in too higher a temperature) (leave you to investigate that story) and it is reported that an astonishing figure of 67% of plastic bottles end up in the ocean. Plastic in the ocean forms microplastics which end up in our drinking water anyway.  Although I accept that some minerals are reportedly filtered. 

We have had side effects from drinking water from our tap but only a full composition report will satisfy me.  I have also ordered a home test to be carried out. 

I would be very pleased to learn of your experience if you drink the water and if you don't why not? 

I would also be very grateful to receive contact details of where I may obtain the composition. 

Thank you in advance

According to the Spanish government 99.8% of all public water in Spain is potable (meaning safe to drink). https://tappwater.co/en/water-quality-reports-from-spain/

I just use a Britta filter and store fridge in glass bottles, it tastes fine. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/do-brita-filters-work-effectiveness-and-what-they-filter#effectiveness

In report lady states in Calahonda Royale

Safe to drink and tastes ok
