The water in Ottawa is fine. I use tap. Half of my family is into bottled water, and they weren't like this before, which leads me to believe that they started listening to all the new stories and other people. Toronto, on the other hand, is a place where many people do not drink from the tap. Filter is prevalent. I also hate carrying all that stuff around.

I've never drank bottled water simply because its supposed to taste good, be better for you or whatever they try and sell you. Its just a plain pain in the ass to have yet another thing to carry around with you everywhere when you're out in a city and have a long way to travel back. The last thing I want is 3 bottles of water in my bag to last the day.

i know everyone on here knows the issues with water.
i just found the penn and teller bullshit factor pretty funny. i would have only tried the spider water.

You're right, the water here doesn't compare to that in Scotland (my Gran lives in the shadow of the Campsies, and the water is lovely) or Northumberland, but It's eminently doable if you get a filter.
Besides, buying bottled water in a first world country is one of the most asinine, ignorant things to do these days.

I grew up in scotland, live in london. there is a huge difference in the taste of the water.

Shitty London water (whilst nowhere near as enjoyable as the stuff you get in Northumberland or Scotland) isn't really that bad. It's certainly better than much of what you'll find in other countries around Europe.
If you feel that strongly about it, get a Brita filter.
Makes yer tea better anyway.

There was a recent test of all the tap water in Britain and ALL of it was way above the required quality.
- not a test, it's regularly tested... a comparison I mean.Jnr_Madison
