Is Bottled Water Better Than Tap?
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.

Comment: Did you know that it takes 8 gallons to make one gallon of bottled water? That is such a waste, also the petroleum that it takes to make the bottles and trasport them is bad for the environment. The water is not better than tap water and it is toxic sitting in those plastic bottles. The only solution is to make your own healthy water. The website www.ReverseAgingWater.com or www.HealthyWaterOnTap.com offers a variety of affordable water machines that turn ordinary tap water into life giving healing water full of natural anti-oxidants and oxygen, and nuetralizes disease causing acid in the body. Water that naturally balances the bodies PH, that is very important to avoid disease and age related illness. Re-Use and Refill, save your health and the environment at the same time. STOP BUYING CORPORATE WATER! Stop getting ripped off by these bottling companies and take control of your own water supply.

Comment: Great idea to have the States report to the Federal Government their tap water analysis. The problem is that the States in order to continue to receive funding from the Federal Government lie about the water analysis. I requested an analysis from South Florida and the list was 0.0 for all chemicals. You could look at the glass of water coming from my tap and smell it and know that 0.0 is imposible. Also in their report it said that they do the analysis and reporting once a year for everithing and twice a year for some things. The analysis is done at the water plant, I get my water after hundreds of miles of old leaky pipes. My tap water is not fit for drinking or cooking.
