You may already know, but...  No Infectious contaminates have been found in
the city of phoenix water supply.  However there is a higher then normal
amount of particulates.  In fact there is so much sand (and other equally
innocuous particulates) that the water "quality" has fallen below federal
standers  ie. it is safe to take a shower and even drink, if you like the
earthy flavor ;)

Though the city is bared from telling you it is safe to drink, since it would
be nearly impossible to guarantee.  And limiting water use (showers) does help
reduce the risk of infiltration, which could, possibly, lead to harmful
pathogens and toxic compounds found in the soil around the city to creep into
the water supply.

Again, for the sanity of you friends, family, and coworkers, I would say
shower.
