Is bottled water a better alternative to tap water?
Bottled water is valuable in emergency situations, and high quality bottled water may be a desirable option for people with weakened immune systems. However, it is not necessarily safer than your tap water and costs much more than tap water on a per litre basis. Tap water provided by public water systems is regularly tested. Consumers who choose to purchase bottled water should carefully read the label to understand what they are buying, whether or not it tastes better and what method of treatment is used.
