Well in the end we all came to a conclusion that when it comes to tap water vs plastic bottled water then the bottled water would lose pretty much every time. Bottled water com pains are some of the biggest growing companies just because they have been putting the tap water everyone has into bottles that are supposedly "cleaner" well in reality these companies are just brainwashing people into thinking this is true. We realized that not only is tap water the same as bottled its sometimes even better to drink tap than bottled because when people drink out of bottles they some times contain bacteria in them especially when they are recycled bottles those are the worse. Also the cost of having to buy bottled water over and over again is outrageous when you can just buy a filter and you will be doing water water com pains are doing anyway but in your own homes which will save you a lot of money and as well lots of time since you won't need to be going out to buy water. So make sure when you want some water don't ask for bottled all you have to do is tap that !
