"We're hoping to set the example for the private sector and other cities in getting off the bottle,"

This person has never hit the water bottle. Call me crazy but I drink tap water, although I would drink well water if I could. The house I bought had a well but the owners filled it in about five years before I bought it. I guess that I have been fortunate enough to live places with the water looked clear, did not smell or did not have a taste to it, either that or there is something in my subconscious that tells me bottled water connotes snobbery.

Well I get a case of gal bottle water a week and I ran out and could not get to the store I tried the tap and it was harsh yuck!

Depends on where you live; have tasted water in other parts of the country/world that had a definite 'ugh' factor.

Our water up here, thankfully, is good enough that from-the-tap routinely fools my water-snooty friends. Poured from 'brand name' re-used plastic bottles they don't know the difference!

Those bottles do make it easier to carry around tho'...

“This person has never hit the water bottle.”

I bought some bottled water at a C-Store once to put in my radiator after a hose popped off. That was the only time I have ever bought it.

Penn and Teller did a show on bottled water. It is snobbery. Bottled water comes out of city water taps and the claims of mountain fresh spring water are bogus.
