Should I buy bottled water?

If you want a drink with different taste you may want to try bottled water, but the costs are approximately 1,000 times as much as your tap water. In many cases bottled water is just "city" water re-purified. The bottled water industry is less regulated than municipal water treatment plants.


Water produced by the City's Water Treatment Plant meets all, and in most cases is better than, rigorous national drinking water quality standards.
