I hve in the past worked in the restaurant business and was once told that when your drink has been garnished with a lemon it is meant to bo used to cleanse the water. How true is this and can anyone supply me with any websites that I will be able to use as refernce material?

I believe the lemon juice aids digestion. It also cleans the palate for new flavors introduced to the mouth, so you will be able to taste them better. See the link below to learn about the many health benefits of lemons! It is amazing...I'm so glad you asked your question.
I squeeze in the lemon, add a bit of artificial sweetner, and have free lemonade!

Not true at all, they are just using the lemon to take any bad taste out of their water. Only thing that will cleanse water is purification and that involves more than adding citric acid, you couldn't add enough lemon in one glass of water to do that.

No, but lemon juice will reduce the chlorine taste in tap water.

Lemons won't necessarily disinfect the water, but it is healthier for you. Here's a link for an interesting artical.

No. Lemons only add flavor, they do nothing to cleanse the water.

No only boiling will kill bacteria. Most bacteria that is already in tap water is harmless.
