You'll need a citation for that. Otherwise it's just baseless speculation on par with saying you can drink from New Zealand lakes.

There seems to be a fair amount of disagreement. Look. I have no idea personally. However, conventional wisdom is that it's prudent to treat water. If I were dehydrated and had no treatment options, I'd certainly take my chances and drink apparently clear, clean water. (And have on occasion.) But I wouldn't just set off on the assumption it wasn't necessary either.
