Microplastics have contaminated the _whole_ Earths' water cycle, including mountain glaciers. [1]
The only difference between water supplies is just how big the concentration of these particles is. In practical terms you can assume all water sources are affected, water treatment facilities do not filter this.
You can reverse osmosis the water you drink but all the vegetables, fish, animals in your food chain are equally contaminated.
