For me personally, with things like this, they are trying to get people to stop drinking tap water, as it is essentially free (you still pay for it monthly as a water bill, but semantics). They want to push bottled water sales.
True that, but I can't have a well within city limits. Have to have a permit for rain barrels as well where i am. It's just more and more red tape on being independent.
Bottled water is not regulated. Municipal water systems are required to meet all State and Federal requirements.
Regulators regulate. They will continue to impose tighter and tighter restrictions on everything. That is how they justify their jobs. Before the introduction of chlorine into water systems, people commonly became sick from drinking the water. Go to a third world country, and find out for yourselves.
I wasn't talking about regulation, I was talking about money and how they are obsessed with it. Even if a well or rain barrels came into play, you would have to boil it and filter it for it to become potable. I am glad for all the innovations for us to have water on tap, but you have to understand that things are getting tighter and expensive thanks to these regulations and stuff. They don't care about the layman, just themselves.
What was that movie with the water bugs that were going to contaminate the water sources and the villain was making bottled water that made you more thirsty so he could sell more?
Was it The Tuxedo? Anyway, all of this makes me think of that movie.
Had city water before and wondered so tried something. I set a glass 1/2 filled with water and left on counter to evaporate. That 1/2 glass was so cloudy cleanser couldnt get it off. So started filtering.
As for bottled water I cant trust. I saw ships in Lake Erie sucking up water for Nestle. Learned that water was shipped to chyna for bottling...cleaned? filtered?
On well water now but still filtering just in case.
I remember in the 90s it was a cliche joke when someone got into an odd situation they say something along the lines of "It's gotta be something in the water", the all of the sudden you quit hearing that joke at all, and antidepressants and agricultural and manufacturing chemicals started turning up in tests.

You don't even pay for it monthly if you have well water.

I was on citybwater in vegas. We had a filtering system. That cleaned it so well we had to re add minerals, now I'm on well in FL.
You do though in electricity. Which last year was set to be double during the hours of 2-7pm

Funny how the experts always are dead wrong.
Or a military base. If you do some digging you find the us govt is one of the largest polluters around, maybe even the worst one.

Recommend staying cases of purified drinking water for when shtf. Get distilled water for everyday drinking.
Distilled water drains the body of nutrients - do not drink!!!
Maybe the evil ones are tossing Covid germs into the water. Or maybe something even worse.
