Spring water is labelled openly such, and nothing else is otherwise. No flouride, no chlorine, no chemicals.

Tap water from municiple government is proof that governments do not care about the average citizen.

That makes the bottled stuff about 7,000 times more expensive even though Aquafina is using the same source of water</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/33305AE6-13F8-4091-9547-9F1EAB9F4543/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
