Quote from: Peter & Beth –
We've been using bottled water for drinking & cooking for about 3 years.  The recent incident in Flint, MI only supports our decision.  I can't put my trust in localities to ensure their drinking water is always safe; fracking, etc..
It's not the skanky taste that concerns me, that's usually organic and not a health problem. It's the pollution that is tasteless & odorless that freaks me out. One of the newer problems is the contamination caused by discarded prescription drugs entering a water system, either by what's called "Backflow" or "Back Siphonage", both dangerous, but not enforced in a lot of States and small water systems. As you said, Peter, Flint, MI SHOULD be a wake up call to the entire nation concerning the shape of our water systems!
