Because truth be told, I'd love to stop having to buy expensive and plasticky bottles all the time. I'm just very concerned about traces of drugs in my tap water. More concerned about that kind of stuff than I am with bacteria, actually. |
Ohh crap i almost forgot....the part about the antibiotics and hormones and crap............only happens with water systems where, waste water gets reclaimed into drinking water.
NYC
Basically in some districts in NYC human waste water goes through many processes to be reclaimed. The hormones and drugs and stuff literally comes from human waste and cannot be filtered out of the water by any means that does kill bacteria and filters particulate. I bet most nyc peeps dont even know that they are drinking their own .........well you know.......
