This is a tricky debate. Yes, our local water is cleaner at the filtration plant, but then what happens in the pipes? Many neighborhoods are several decades old, and the pipes are not exactly clean. So what comes out of the tap is not going to be nearly as clean as it was at the filtration plant.

I don't really support bottled water, and use a Pur filter myself, but the facts are important. We are lucky to live in an area with exceptionally clean drinking water.

I live on top of a mountain, so our water comes from a cold little creek somewhere up here-ish. Dasani does taste different though.

Yay! Bullshit is the best!!!

And yeah, Mountain View in particular has famously good tap water. :]
