The water around here is really bad.We drink bottled water and use it if we are not going to boil it.For instance to make kool aid we do not use boiled tap water.But,when we boil it,like for coffee or tea,then we use tap water.What do you do? The water is bad here,it leaves a ring in the toliets.

Our water tastes fine here. It is said we have some of the best tasting water in the country. We don't drink alot of bottled h20. But we do have a filter on our kitchen sink faucet.

We have well water. If I am going to be drinking it plain I will filter it first, but for making juice and tea I do not filter it first. I would not say our water is bad, but I only like to drink filtered water.

The water here is quite clean. We will often drink tap water, although many people boil or filter it.

The water is not as bad here as it is where I use to live. They are always having trouble with the water in that area. I see it on the local news from time to time. I still have a house there that I rent out and I pay the water bill. I didn't drink tap water when I lived there. I know that a few times the water tested positive for Ecoli.

The water around our area is bad here too. We have very hard water here and it likes to make a brown stain around the rim of our toilet. I have tried to scrub it off but there is a line of it that has set up on there. I never drink our tap water. I get my water from my regrigerator.

Sure! We have hard water too. It does not taste good in the cup. So we buy big jugs of water from the store. We try to stay away from tap water as often as possible. Not good for cooking!

I am thankful cause the water here in Canada is actually clean. We just get water from the tap and use the Brita Pitchers that have filters. Some people are confident enough to drink directly from the tap hehe.
