Try drinking some of Putes tea he feeds his ladies with. Report back if you can.
To be Honest
I am still Very afraid to drink anything he offers me .
Might be very high in Nitrates and urine colored
But I hear tell he has feed it to his plants at one time doing experiments
It is what it is and since it is uncontrolled, that changes with time.
I would send a sample into the lab first to check for chemistry, and periodically check to make sure nothing changes, but my best guess is that it is fine.
Testing is relatively cheap and pH testing cheaper yet. We once got the bright idea of using our dehumidifier water to water plants without checking pH and made some sick.
Besides chemistry and pH, I would check for coliform bacteria.

Where is the ‘vomit emoji’?
I've used river water, probably works for outside grows? I don't think it would work well in potted grows. Who knows, give it a try. I just use RO, but may not be feasible for large outdoor garden.

I would be concerned about using it indoors as well but mainly for the bugs/bug eggs that may ride in with the water.

Ya gotta catch fish to smell fishy.That you smell a little fishy when you get home from a day of fishing
Yes I would agree. I never bring anything outside inside. Seen to many stories in this thread that caused problems.

I wouldn't be too concerned about coliform. It's abundant in cow poo and bat crap that people use for fertilizer for all sorts of plants.
Now that y’all got me totally confused… 
i think I’m just gonna play the safe card on my four legal plants and use the city water. Now I will have a few clones that I’m getting ready to take from these plants prior to sinking them in the ground. maybe a couple of them will find their way down to the lakes edge to see how they do. You know, just past my property line behind the jungle next door? There is not much sun there but a lot of growth so might be fun to lose a couple down there just to see what happens.
