Bottled Drinking Water Blues
June 29th, 2006I drank tap water at hundreds of different homes throughout Northern California. In my own homes, I took it straight from the tap, cooked with it, brushed my teeth with it and showered in it, and made Jello and ice cubes with it. And nothing ever happened.There is a slew of discussions about contaminants in tap water. Okay, so high levels of bacteria are found in a select city, bacteria that slips through the elaborate filtering systems and impacts—in one case, for example—400,000 residents. But there is also the bottled drinking water company that is found to have just bottled tap water after filtering it and then calling it fresh-from-the-mountaintop bottled drinking water.
