    I find even from city to city here, the water tastes different. I couldn't drink the water in Mississauga - had a smell of algae to it. Here I just find the water to be... hmmm... I don't know the word. I know the bottled stuff I get is trucked in from the spring in Aberfoyle (or at least that's what they tell me).
    I have to admit the water in BC is soooo much better than in Ontario. I could actually drink the tap water there.

    EDIT: Again... what he said.

    studies show that tap water is 10x better than bottled water as it has to go through multiple government safety checks whereas bottled water does not.

    don't misunderstand, they're both fine... but this is what the report showed.

    oh and i know for a fact that the bottle of evian that you saw in the shops has probably sat in a french warehouse for up to 6 months before getting shipped. Apparently they have a huge supply of stock and are unable to ship it all leaving many bottles sat in a warehouse for a long period of time.

    i still drink bottled though but tap water is better
    Oh. So now old water is a bad thing?

    How old is the water from the tap?

    I thought it was all quite old. Like millions of years.

    I wouldn't want any water from BC.

    I hear it is filtered through peat moss.

    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    In most homes the only drinking water comes from the cold water tap in the kitchen. This is fed directly from the mains. The other cold water taps are fed from a storage tank, normally in the attic. That water will have been lying and stagnating for a while before it is poured. It is not intended for drinking, it is intended for washing, flushing the toilet etc.

    (This is not always the case, all of my cold water taps are direct from the mains.)
