Bottled vs tap: the truth about water

Posted on Mar 27th 2007 5:27AM by Martha Edwards
I am and have always been a tap water drinker. I have friends who will gasp at this admission and tell me I'm nuts, that I'm putting myself in danger, but honestly, I don't see anything wrong with tap water. Water is water, right? And unless my local government issues a water warning, I don't see any need to filter my water, and I've yet to get sick from it.

According to this article, I'm not doing myself any harm, because tap water doesn't appear to be any less or more healthy than bottled water. So save your pennies and fill up at the sink. Unless you like bottled water for the taste, but that article points out that in a blind taste test, tap water fared quite well, while Evian was described as tasting like toilet water.

Which do you prefer -- tap or bottled?
