Am I the only one who skips water source checks near trailheads?

Everyone I hike with swears by filtering at the first creek on the Appalachian Trail, but after finding a busted cooler and empty Gatorade bottles in that same spot last weekend, I just plan for 3 extra miles to the next source, has anyone else noticed how nasty trailhead water gets in popular sections like Springer Mountain?
