Hi Len,
As a kid our drinking water was carried a half mile home from a delicious crystal clear spring that was maintained by my Aunt Marion. It was surrounded by water lilies and various species of mint. An occasional water moccasin had to be avoided and when the tin bucket was removed from the water one had to wait for the debri to settle before taking a second bucket. The crayfish and tiny fish scurried around the bottom in order to avoid capture.
The water was and still is the best I have ever tasted. It was very difficult to drink tap water when I moved North. I drank bottled water because it tasted more like the spring water from home. I can smell the chlorine in our tap water. I also don't like the fact that sometimes you must wait for the rust to run off.
Lately, I have tried to get used to drinking tap water because it is filtered through my new refrigerator's filter. I have also drank some brands of bottled water that tasted as if it was filled from the tap. The price of bottled water delivery has become quite ridiculous lately. They say the increase is a fuel surcharge.
What can I say? It all comes down to the dollar. What does it all really have to do with water?
Peace,
Lucy
