How do people know their tap water is safe?
If bottled water companies have succeeded in making us doubt the tap water in our houses, how can a normal person actually check whether their own tap water is safe? If I can't measure my water, I will likely follow the advice of the bottled water companies and by bottled water to be safe.

Testing your water
Following the advice of the bottled water companies would not be sound advice. For one thing, bottled water comes with its own problems such as leaching of bpa and pthalates into the water. As you know most bottled water comes from municipal sources and is basically tap water that has been treated and re-packaged anyway. Not to mention the environmental impacts that bottled water is having on our earth, aquatic birds and sea life.
