The water in single-serve bottled waters can sometimes be bad for your health, bad for the environment and bad for your wallet. By taking a look at what you’re really getting when you’re consuming a single-serve water bottle rather than fresh, purified water from a Colorado Springs home water delivery company, you can decide how you should be drinking water on the go.
For years and years many of us went to the tap to drink water without ever thinking about what could possibly be lurking there. Although it is reassuring that most water companies have taken steps to make sure the water coming into our homes is clean enough and safe for drinking, those same companies allowed unclean water to be piped there in the first place. Nowadays, in most American cities, before tap water is pushed through the pipes to homes, schools, hospitals, and restaurants, the public utility company processes the water to remove harmful contaminants.
The independent filmmaker, Neil LaBute, once said, “We live in a disposable society. It’s easier to throw things out than to fix them. We even give it a name – we call it recycling.” Okay, maybe he was being a bit cynical about the “flimsiness” of our current culture, but some say this quote is ‘spot on.’ Plastic water bottles might be the perfect example of this. I’ve often wondered if people in other countries are just as wasteful with something as routine as drinking water, or if they’ve just found it easier to recycle.
Having a reliably safe drinking water supply in your home or office shouldn’t be considered a luxury for the few who can afford it. Many people have concerns about the quality and safety of their local tap water but feel that using a water delivery service is out of their budget. When water delivery to homes and offices was a new concept this may have been true, but today it is easy to find affordable water service, especially if you live along the Colorado Front Range. Clearly Colorado is passionate about providing homes and business owners with the purest water at the best price.
