I paragraph 4 of source 2, it states that many people think that sink water tastes nasty, which I agree with them. Sink water is never always healthy there might be something called “led” and that is a deadly chemical. Water bottles taste the same as far as I know but sink water tastes weird sometimes. This is not in the article but this happened to me in real life, I’ve tasted sink water a few times in my life and I’m not joking but they all tasted different all of the times I’ve had it. Once it tasted eggy another time it tasted like copper and then it tasted like a swimming pool… Trust me it wasn’t the best thing…
When it comes to city drinking water and it’s almost never talked about. Although water is odorless, colorless and tasteless not all water is created equal. In fact, you may be surprised to know that the most readily available water we have through tap water has many chemicals added in order to treat the water. Many of these chemicals are explained as keeping bacteria and other harmful organisms from colonizing the water and entering into our bodies but those same chemicals have the potential to be just as dangerous if not more dangerous than these…
Tap water is safer than bottled water. Bottled water is unsafe to drink because most of the time 60-70% of the water is not tested(Waterloo Water Works). While tap water is tested 80% of the time which is 2-3 times a day(Waterloo Water Works). Although people think bottle water taste better it's not but it is better than a sugary soda.…

I think that 50% of people drink bottled water thinking its healthier. I don’t think that drinking more bottled water can help a person lose weight. I think that tap water may help a person to lose weight.…
Bottled water is actually better for you because it is safer, its easily accessible, and it definitely tastes better. The first reason that most Americans like bottled water is because is a lot safer to drink. People that put in wells for tap water for their houses have experienced the well water be muddy or look like it has a red or orange tint to it because of clay or rust on the pipes. I have personally saw this in my grandparents home.…
Water is necessary for life, and clean drinking water is essential. Many people believe that bottled water is better for you than tap water. I think that tap water is better because bottled water is bad for the environment, it is less economical, and the toxins used in plastic water bottles are dangerous for our health. To begin with, tap water is better than bottled water because it is safer for the environment. When somebody drinks a glass of water and they use tap water they would usually use a glass and then just have to wash it.…
First of all unlike what Annie Leonard had stated, bottled water is, in fact, an extremely well regulated product that is proven to be strictly coordinated by the IBWA, making it also healthy for the society. In Annie’s script “The Story of Bottled Water,” she had once stated, “...In many ways bottled water is less regulated than tap.” Although she claimed that bottled water is less regulated than tap water, the fact still remain that bottled water is generally cleaner and more coordinated than tap as proven by IBWA, an association formed by hundreds of experts, in the statement, “Bottled water is a packaged food product regulated by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which requires bottled water to comply with bottled water-specific…

According to Annie Leonard in “The Story of Bottled Water,” “Sometimes, sometimes not in many ways, bottled water is less regulated than tap. Is it tastier?…

The impression that it is the healthier choice. “But no one should think that bottled water is better regulated, better protected, or safer than tap” ~Eric Goldstein (Bottled Water vs Tap Water: Rethink). In one case, water bottle companies purchased water from a…
You can get unpurified water from many places such as; river, lakes, ponds, sewers, buckets filled with rain water, and many other places. The effects of drinking unpurified water can be devastating. Drinking water that has not been purified can lead to viruses, diseases that cannot be treated, and even could lead to death in extreme situations. When there is no water clean enough to drink, people will have to resort to the second option, even with the substantial risk that comes along with it, if they want any chance of survival at…
