Why is Guelph’s Tap Water better than Bottled Water?

It costs over 1,000 times less than bottled water, and is delivered to a tap near you.

Flavoured bottled water often has potassium sorbate added as a preservative. This absorbs UV light and interferes with waste water treatment.

Guelph’s tap water comes from the same aquifer as Nestlé Pure Life Aberfoyle water.

Tap water is chlorinated. Bottled water is ozonated. If you leave them in a pitcher in the fridge overnight so the ozone and chlorine evaporate off they should be identical.

      Not to mention the agressive approach in regards to backflow prevention that the City of Guelph has undertaken. This also ensures that safe drinking water supplied to every consumer stays that way. The risks of water contamination due to backflow events are now controlled.

      I am baffled as to why anyone would bottle and SELL Guelph-aquifer water. It tastes AWFUL! Perhaps the added flavours mask the taste?

      This is proof-positive that the public have been hoodwinked into thinking that bottled water is somehow “healthy”. Ugh!

      (Then there is the whole earth-unfriendly business of putting the water in plastic containers and transporting it hundreds–even thousands–of kilometres, with all the gasoline (or diesel fuel) and resultant pollution involved.)

      Can’t people who purchase Nestles products get enough foul-tasting tapwater in their own locales?

      Cor!
