This is exactly why my family and I decided to ditch the bottled water altogether and invest in a home filtration system 2 years ago. We were tired of the expense and felt so guilty about the damage we were doing to the environment with plastic bottles. I can't help but think that even if municipal tests turn up clean (by what standards?), the water still has a lot of pipes to go through to get to my house. I couldn't be more pleased with Culligan's total home system <a href="http://www.culligan.com">www.culligan.com</a>. Now my water tastes great, I save a ton of money on bottles, plus no more hard water deposits in the shower! Definitely something to look into if you are concerned about water quality (and cleaning your shower less)....

When it comes down to it, most people use bottled water sparingly not because it's any healthier or less healthy—but because it's tougher on their pocketbook and on the environment. The EPA's Grumbles drinks bottled water only when he's on airplanes or traveling. "We're a mobile society, so there will always be a need for bottled water," he says. "[But] tap water is a tremendous bargain."
For more drinking water information, check out the Web sites for the EPA, the National Sanitation Foundation or the FDA. Or call the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791. If you think your tap water tastes funny, contact your water utility or state drinking water program.
