Almost missed this one: New York City’s water is as healthy and safe as bottled water. It also tastes pretty good.

“There really is no reason to go out and buy bottled water in New York City,” said Jim Tierney, the state inspector general for the city’s water supply. “It doesn’t make economic sense. It’s 1,000 times the cost of tap water, and tap water is clean and healthful.”

Me, I keep a jug in the fridge only because it’s cold.
