Do Ohioans actually drink tap water.

Quelle tristesse!

Down here in Georgia, we drink Dasani.

If you’re drinking bottled water because you think it’s healthier, you may want to think again. While some brands are purer than others, bottled water can contain pollutants, often at higher levels than tap water, and is not tested as stringently as public water. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates bottled water, 60 percent to 70 percent of all brands are exempt from FDA scrutiny because manufacturers sell water in the same state they bottle it and the FDA governs only those products sold across state lines.

Yeah. They tell us the quality is pretty good.

This year I don't trust the water quality of Lake Erie or that there won't be insect-related illnesses related to it. From mid June until early July there were several wall-of-water rainbursts. The overflow put a whole lot of pollutants in the Lake and in rivers. I'm not one for believing their spiel when they say the water's safe for the rest of the summer, especially considering this heat spell.
