  Do you drink bottled drinking water? If you do you're not alone. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), more than half of all Americans buy bottled drinking water, to the tune of $4 billion yearly. Those majestic snow capped mountains and glaciers lead us to believe that bottled water is pure and safer to drink than tap water, but this may not always the case as presented on NRDC's website at www.nrdc.org. Another reputable source on bottled drinking water is the World Health Organization, and you can visit this site at www.who.int for more information from another point of view. Not all bottled drinking water is under scrutiny, but not all is safe and pure either. You may just be buying tap water that has been bottled and then sold at like 10,000 times the cost of what you pay for your own tap water.

  When you drink water, it usually comes from the tap in your kitchen or your bathroom. Your community is supposed to take care of this water, and they send out an annual report each year. This report is often complicated and hard to understand. There are some communities that have questionable water situations, and this may leave you wondering if you should be drinking that water at all. Most water is perfectly safe to drink, but due to chemicals or mineral deposits, it may not taste the best. When this happens, you might consider getting bottled drinking water for you and your family.
