What’s in Your Water?

Written by Tracy

Do you drink tap water or bottled water? In the past decade or so, bottled water sales have skyrocketed. There are now over 100 different brands of bottled water available for sale in the US alone. Millions of dollars are spent on bottled water.  Do you know where the water comes from? Manufacturers are currently not required to indicate the source of their water or any chemicals it may contain on labels. In fact, the water in some brands may have come from the same local source that your tap water comes from.  This recent news report from CBS news has the details.

Environmental concerns may also affect your decision to choose tap or bottled water. Millions of plastic bottles end up in the land fill every year, not to mention the energy used to make and transport the bottles. Making an informed decision about your drinking water will impact your health, wallet, and the environment. For more information on the quality of your local water supply, check out the US Environmental Protection Agency’s website or your local government website.
