"Is Bottled Water Safer than Tap Water?"

[woodamarc]

I decided to do a little research regarding bottled water to
determine if it was safer, or better for your health. Not only does
my family drink bottled water but also many of my friends and family
feel that bottled water is better than their own tap water. I on the
other hand am always under argument that our tap water is safe and
most likely better quality than what’s purchased in the bottles. I
also can’t see spending an additional cost for bottled water when our
municipality provides safe drinking water at our residential tap. As
a for resident of California, I understand that regardless of what
impression others may have about our water municipalities…
California’s EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is one of the most
stringent in the country when it pertains to tap water supply purity
guidelines.

“There are basically two reasons one should consider bottled water
1) Your tap water has contaminants that are greater than the EPA – tap
water supply) and FDA (Federal Drug Administration – bottled water)
accepted MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level) standards. 2) Your water
has a strange taste or smell.

Please provide any information where your municipality deemed your
water safe, only years later to confirm you now have a disease
directly caused by bad drinking water. Any information,
recommendation, etc., regarding this topic would be of great benefit
for those seeing to make an informed consumer decision with regard to
drilling, purchasing bottle, or place of residence, etc., in ways in
which one would receive water for consumption.

Rember, water and air, we can not do without. I'd say these two
vital consumer products are essential to healthy living, don't you?
