Do you drink tap water?

[augustblue]

No, but it's only because we have a well and it tastes awful. Aside from that, I have no problem drinking tap

Hi! Have you heard about the job your DH phone interviewed for?

No not yet

[iamgrace]

Not in my home, because we draw from the lake. But anywhere else I do.

[Deleted]

Always in restaurants.

But not at home.

I know, I know. Shame me.

[Deleted]

Yes only at home because we have a house filter.

[mskitkat]

No. We have a Brita filter. I used to do environmental analytical analysis. Every time I try to drink tap water or from a water fountain, I keep picturing the sample bottle labeled "main water fountain outside front office." It was red. *shudder*

And the pipes in our house suck. It's not uncommon for the water going into the filter to be light brown.

[Anne Blythe]

Filtered from the fridge. I don't mind the water, but I need it to be cold before I pour it over ice. I am picky.

[Deleted]

Brita all the way.

We get regular notices from the water company about lead content in our water where we are here.  We stopped drinking tap water because of them.

Oh geez, that sucks! I've never gotten a notice in either location I've lived (Cap Hill and Highlands). I hope I don't, I really truly love Denver water better than bottled.

I live in the Highlands and work in Cap Hill.  I pretty much only drink tap water.

p.s. I came over b/c Amberly said something.  I lurk here mostly. 

[crazycakes]

Yes, we have good water around here.

This thread has brought Denver out of the woodwork. 

WELL DONE, DELICIOUS (but possibly full of lead) DENVER WATER.

No.

Are you on city or well?
I recall the city water being hard up there?
But our well water was LOVELY, though we really couldn't drink it due to chronicles and shit the people on glenrosa used in their yards, or something

We are on well water and it's really hard. I guess we could drink it if we really wanted to, but we lived in Vernon before here and we constantly had a boil water advisory, so we just got in the habit of buying 18L jugs.  Now our water is pumped up from Okanagan lake and I'm a little sketched out drinking water out of there. Lol

What's the deal with water in LA though? I thought the water was bad, lol. It's the only place I've been in North America where NOBODY drinks tap water at home. My BIL and his gf had a bunch of different kinds of water, all name tagged and stuff (not an LA thing, an anal BIL thing)

I don't know.

It doesn't taste great?

[taratru]

:delurks to represent Colorado:

I drink tap. Always - even in Florida. And when I go home (mountain town) I nearly kill myself drinking so much of our delicious, mineral-filled well water. I wish I could bottle *that*.

Another Denver lurker coming out....I drink the water, it's good stuff!

I also live in Denver, but I work in historic buildings with old pipes and the water is brown. But everywhere else I drink the water.
I also have a dog named Walter.

UMMM. WALTER twin power activate!

You need to come to one of our Denver GTGs. We are a spirited group. LOL

I want to come to a GTG!

I love our tap water. Tap water in Austin (where I'm from) tastes funny.

I do. I'm in Denver, too. Our water at home (SE Denver) tastes just fine. We have a Brita pitcher, but I don't use it very often.

We have filtered water at work (Tech Center) and it's even better! I love the water here.

GOOD NIGHT IRENE!

How many Denver MLers are there? 

I like your panda.

I usually get my water from the fridge (filtered and cold), but I don't mind the tap water. 

Wonderred - are you not on Denver water?

[Deleted]

Yeah, and we even have a Brita filter on the tap. I am a rebel like that.

Austin isn't nearly as bad as CC. 

We need a huge Denver GTG, apparently. Shall we rent out the convention center and drink from the tap?

[pantsparty]

We have a filter in our fridge. So no? But I would. I like to live on the edge.

Engle'hooder here. We used to live in a house directly 9 blocks north of our current house, and tap water was dandy there. At this house it's very hard so we use a sink filter.

I know a cupcake shop good for a GTG.

And to clarify, I don't make the cupcakes or own the shop - I just can't turn them down.

Yep. Ours isn't bad at all. When I lived at home I drank the tap water all the time but we had well water so it was amazing.

[daisyheadmaizie]

Whoa! Look at all the Colorado lafies!

We use a Brita pitcher, mostly out of habit. I don't mind our tap water.

[druidprincess]

Just found this for you panda lovers (not remotely water related):

[Deleted]

I love all these Denver ladies! We do have awesome water. I used to work for Wastewater Management and we worked closely with Denver Water. They do a great job. Centennial is a different water district, with their stupid lead-filled water. lol

winecat I NEED your cupcakes. Please come to our next GTG and bring me some of those lavender ones
