I recall that there were many tests and comparisons. This was before the recent war on water by soda companies and Nestles. Because at that time, New York City's got its water from some location far away in a reservoir and piped in (and I do not know if this is still true), and purified again, or something like that; its tap water was purer and better tasting than any of the bottled water tested or any other localities that were tested. Yep, New York City tap water.. Where I live, we get our water from a suburb that gets it from Lake Michigan. Chicago's water is filtered at two filtration plants. It is ok.. You know..it is what it is.????? As you said, people are uninformed.
