This might encourage more people to drink from the tap instead of the bottle Take action here: http://congress.FluorideAction.Net Environmentalists need to join us in forcing legislators to stop adding unnecessary and harmful fluoride chemicals into the public water supplies in a futile attempt to reduce tooth decay in tap water drinkers.

It is also subjected to the condition of the conduit from the source to the point of use; not to mention that chlorine, THMs, fluoride, trace metals and pharmaceuticals can be present under EPA standards. All that noted, tap is basically safe and the best choice for our citizens. We have invested billions of dollars building the treatment plants and infrastructure to have potable water available everywhere. There is no need to use fuel for large trucks or plastic production to deliver water. For those of us that prefer contaminant free water from the tap, I find a <a href="www.officewater.net" rel="nofollow"> reverse osmosis water cooler</a> is a great solution. It purifies tap water at the point of use. This eliminates the objectionable elements of tap, while leveraging the municipal infrastructure. It is the next generation drinking water service and the green alternative to bottled water. Some tap water has objectionable taste or odor.

Local food is good food, and like "inflating your tires," it is something no one can stop you from doing. Thanks for doing all this.
