I’ll take bottled water over tap any day. I don’t drink Walmart water or Sam’s Club water and would never consider drinking tap water anywhere near LA county (I’m two blocks away). The previous bottled water report was laden with the word “may”. Well, dinosaurs “may” still exist and Wall Street “may” be trustworthy but “may” is hugely ambiguous until it comes to city tap water…tap does contain harmful chemicals and pharma by-products. Bottled water as over-rated but it is has superior filtering for pharma-products and goes a few steps further than the city whose filtering processes are ancient.
