I will give you the basics of a Yahoo Finance Report I read this morning, concerning tap vs. bottled water. According to this report, tap water is much safer to drink than most bottled water. Why? Safety reguations by each state and the Federal Government. The tap water is suppose to be crystal clear and free of bacteria. They did not mention the chrlorine taste of tap water and how it ruins a cup of coffee.
Some states can advertise spring water on their bottles, but in reality it is only 55% spring water and the rest is tap water mixed in. This situation occurs when spring water is not transported from state to state. If the company is within the state and sells only in the state it does business, look out for the tap water.
Bottled water is a 2 billion dollar a year business. Bottled water is not nearly regulated as tap water, so who knows whats inside?
I know what this report has said, but I never drink tap water. I have pulled too man dead bodies out of it. It sometimes comes out the faucet as a yellow or rust color and that is a turnoff!!
I will contine to buy my imported Evian water. It has no after taste and is crystal clear.
