    Default Can you drink tap water where you live ? do you prefer bottled water?

    whenever i go abroad i understand how blessed i am to live in a place where i can simply open the tap and drink.

    in many places to transport heavy 10 liter office dispenser sized bottles is the norm.

    -can you drink tap water where you live?

    -could you drink it but for some reason (igienic or taste) you prefer bottled water?

    You can drink here but taste isn't so good, so people use bottled water to drink but use tap water to cook or to make drinks.

    i know well, especially the purple hands when you bring the huge water bottles with the thin handle up the stairs

    i Always used it to boil pasta though when i was there, no problem with taste whatsoever

    wow you got it tested too.

    i think a good water distr. system is also a huge investement for the environment since it practically removes the need for plastic bottles.

    the water here in Rome is very very calcium strong, good for bones but in many people it leads to kidney problem (in addition to breaking your washing machine )

    I drink it pretty much exclusively, not much point in it if it's not potable.
