Do you think your city’s tap water source is important?

Your tap water supply is typically sourced from the nearest large body of water within that city. Chicago gets it from Lake Michigan. Miami gets it from the Atlantic.
Most don’t think about water source when they move. Water goes through a sedimentation and filtering process so it’s all good and safe. That’s relatively true.
Water is not just water. IMO I think it’s important where the water is sourced from. I think it correlates to crime rates’ mental stamina, and overall happiness of an area. New York’s water has so much piss and pollution in it. Flint’s is from the dirty Flint River. Flint’s water crisis was caused from the old lead pipes when they switched their water source from Lake Huron to the Flint River to save money.
Switzerland’s tap water is sourced from its Alpine waterways, its rainwater, it’s melted glaciers. It’s one of the cleanest and purest in the world. North Canada has a good source with the fresh, ice cold glaciers of the Hudson Bay with little human activity.
Now onto bottled water for a moment: Fiji bottled water is big because it doesn’t go through any pipes: it’s bottled directly from the source, impossible with tap water. It’s naturally filtered by volcanic rock, untouched by man or any solid before the bottle itself. Fijians aren’t as fortunate with their tap water.
Water is not all the same. Even bottled water, there’s a difference between natural spring water (usually reflected by the brand name, Evian, Ice Mountain) and purified, filtered water that goes through a distillation process (Dasani, Aquafina, water with “added” electrolytes). Neither are better than the other but it depends on preference.
