Oh stop! You haven't tasted my tap water!! We have moved to a little town called Julian in California. We live up on a mountain and our water comes from a well. Yuch!! My landlord has put in two filters. One for the tap water under the house and another near my washer so my clothes won't turn BROWN!

It may be a result of the bad fires we had up here, but I've heard from others that this water has been yuchy for some time. We buy approx. 10 bottles of water a week at 25 cents a bottle. We use it for food, making drinks, drinking, and cooking. Anything that might be ingested. The water is safe according to the testing bureau but I wouldn't think of drinking it. Yuck!

It took awhile to get used to washing my dishes in it. They come out clean and so do my clothes. The water has a very definite smell of sulfer and metal, but this dissipates quickly. Again, yuch. So, don't think everyone is an edjt for drinking bottled water.

BTW, I love Perier(sp) water. Refreshing. I also love the tap water in Manhatten. Yummy! New York Times rated it as the best tasting tap water in America. Of course, they may be biased! ;-)

I'm going to get a water dispenser, that also makes the water cold, very soon. They cost $100.

Love, Annamill (sorry for rambling)
