I'm wondering how pharmaceuticals get into the San Francisco water supply? It comes straight from the mountains and into the system. It's one of the most protected water supplies there is. Curious.

I imagine the entire planet is so saturated with our detritus by now that there are no pristine mountain streams anymore.

That's a bit of a myth. Most water supplied to SF comes from significantly downstream from the Sierra Nevada, stored in reservoirs much closer to the city.
(All of which is really just an excuse to say: Restore the Hetch Hetchy (http://www.hetchhetchy.org/)!!! Free Glen Canyon (http://www.glencanyon.org/)!!!!! Damn the Dams!!!!)
But seriously -- it's not that different a system in SF than in NYC.
