Q: What is the best choice of drinking water: bottled or tap water?
A: The answer is clear: tap water! That's because our water is of excellent quality,
strictly monitored, and affordable.
When we look at issues such as quality, monitoring and

For instance, some brands may be of excellent quality, but others can
have inferior quality or they may be simply taken from municipal water
supplies. And all bottled waters are expensive. For the price of one
small bottle of water, you would be able to buy about 680 gallons of
Madison tap water. Another important fact: there are fewer government regulations to guide the bottled water industry. Monitoring requirements aren't as stringent as are those for tap water. For quality, consistency and affordability, tap water wins every time.
