How would those pharmaceuticals get into the water supply.

Moreover, none of other cooking, washing or bathing water comes from the tiny fridge filter, agree?
Too many people dispose of old medications by flushing them down the toilet. This water ends up being processed and purified, but pharmaceuticals can be difficult to filter out of municipal water systems.

This has become a real problem in many areas, thus the warning.
