We've just purchased a LG refrigerator with the easily replaceable filter cylinder and my husband announced that my water making days are over. Woo hoo!

I'm from Kansas City where everyone drinks from the tap. But here in Phoenix, I can tell the difference between tap water and filtered water. The tap water has a specific taste (water shouldn't taste like anything!) and I swear I see floaties in it...that's just not right. We've chosen reverse osmosis, a more expensive option up front but good long term, in our eyes. Also, around these parts, everyone carries around a bottle of water all day long...otherwise we'd whither up and DIE in the desert heat!!!

Just the article you posted...You know what's funny? My papaw once said he would not drink water from anywhere he couldn't see the source. haha He drank water from a big ole hole in the ground. (In my teacher voice: That children is called a well. People used to have to actually dig holes in the ground to get water.) He lived to be 85. I am not too worried as long as my water tastes ok to me. I guess if my water kills me, my progeny can contemplate the irony. :-p (Sorry so Silly today ;)) Your previous post had nothing much to do with the safety of bottled water did it?
