The tap water is contaminated with nitrates and other agricultural chemicals. No amount of filtering is going to remove these poisons. Contrary to this article, tap water is not safe to drink in all areas. Also, California tap water has wrecked the local ecosystems, and also ruining people's lives with the way it is managed. So what to do then? I don't know. I don't want to drink the tap water but also extremely concerned and disturbed with how bottled water is acquired and produced. It's really quite frightening.
