Tap in my town prety much means:

They Added Pb (Pb being lead)

The water here is really high in lead content from the pipes, and it is a rich shade of off-white with little brown and yellow specs floating in it...

Is marvelous to see how naive can people be. Water with a better flavor than the one off the tap. Well, it's water. Besides, Michael Moore might be right that the US keeps contaminating the water in favor of the bottled ones....

I think I should start a company that creates pure, molecular water with no contaminants other than the container.

A big tank 'o hydrogen, a tank 'o oxygen, a bunch of fancy-schmancy containers and mix it all together.

Then sell it for a premium :)

IIRC they tried that. Didn't catch on well since it didn't taste like 'water'. :rolleyes:

I have the amazing choice between water with high sulphur/iron content and cheap bottled water. Often, I drink the bottled water, since it's there, and already in a bottle.

I drink Asda own brand bottled water.

It's probably purified staff piss but it tastes better than tap water.

you can buy destillated water at the gas station you know. and you kinda need the salts in regular water.

Sydney Water kicks ass. Our contaminant levels are so low, the water from the tap is usually better than the bottled stuff. It's a different story when our family heads back to Malaysia to see our relatives, though... bottles all the way. :p

The only water I buy is the stuff that comes in the 4L jugs. They're actually cheaper than those 600mL Aquafina bottles. The only reason I buy it is because the water here is a grenish brown colour. A combination of dirt and chlorine. It's bad enough to bathe in the stuff. I got soap in my eye the other day, and rinsing it out with water caused it to burn more.

I love my Brita filter when I am at the university. The local water is terrible.

Nah, you're talking about Arab countries. Some third world countries don't even have the oil.

'tis not unusual.  I remember Peebles hydro(a hotel) sometimes has brown tapwater - there was a notice by the side of the sinks about it.

Seriously... If I ever get brown tapwater I can practically file a lawsuit against the state here. At the very least, the state would pay to fix it (most of the time out of their own) :p It's unheard of here.

Yeah, our water isn't brown unless it's a private water supply, or a water main breaks, flooding some street...  Even that nasty 'ass-water' we had in Florida was clear, just highly sulphurize0red.
