Bottled Water Or Tap Water

Which One Are You Using?

I was so afraid to drink my tap water due to the hype of toxins and pollutants, which could be found in the drinking water. Earlier last year my city came under fire due to improper water treatment reporting. So naturally I was skeptical of drinking my own tap water. In my distressed state I purchased water at Sams Club or the local grocery store, amid all the local reports of various communities finding lead in their water.

When I first begin to use bottled water the price was $3.49 to $3.99 for a 24 pack. As of the June the water is now around $4.50 to $ 6.50 for a 24 pack. It’s getting very expensive to use bottled water.

Being a little fed up with these prices and trying to maintain a budget; I called the city about getting my water tested to see if there were any harmful toxins in the water. They offered to test it for free, after two weeks I got the all clear.

So guess what? I stopped buying bottled and use my own tap water. If you are using bottled water and are fed up with the raising cost get yours tested. Call your local city or government office office to find out where it can be tested.
