What is the best choice of drinking water: bottled or tap water?
The answer is clear: tap water! That’s because our water is: • of excellent quality • strictly monitored • affordable. When we look at issues such as quality, monitoring and affordability, we see that bottled water doesn’t always make the grade. For instance, some brands may be of excellent quality, but others can have inferior bacteriological quality. And all bottled waters are expensive. Another important fact: there are fewer government regulations to guide the bottle water industry. While bottled waters should meet the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality, monitoring requirements aren’t as stringent as are those for tap water. For quality, consistency and affordability, tap water wins every time.
