We live in America/Canada. Not Ethiopia. The water that comes from your kitchen sink is perfectly fucking fine to drink. In fact most of your bottled waters are tap. Your not going to get sick. Your not going to die. So stop acting like tap water is poison. Not to anyone specific on NS, just something that pisses me off. /rant

you know how people are these days, paranoid about everything that may be "harmful" to their kids. a few of my family members live strictly organic, from food to shampoo. if someone says your tap water isnt 100% clean, they are going to buy a brita..that aint gonna change..tons of people still drink from their tap

Well I disagree.

I have a well. That said well started getting all this shit seeping into it. We got it tested and it IS harmful if you drink it.


You, my friend, are mad.

nah well water is fine as long as you have a filtering system.. my brother has a well in his house and the water passes thru four filters before it even comes close to a tap. actually in most cases filtered well water is cleaner then both tap and bottled water

i totally agree, bottled water is a waste of money. i bought one of those cheap, non breakable, go green bottles and havent bought a bottle of water in a year.

well i have well water at both of my houses (mom and dads). at my moms house we have a water cooler that holds like 5 gallon bottles at once, not sure of the cost of that. but at my dads, we just refrigerate a brita water filter. works like a charm

There are very limited regulations on bottled water, tap water has many regulations, making it in my opinion safer to drink, and not to sound like a tree hugger but trucking bottled water all over the country wastes energy, and disposing of the bottles is a problem, the only thing bottled water has got going for it is the fact that it is convenient, and at those times drink it, but otherwise, theres no point in drinking it
