Water

Speaking of water mains and such- was watching a morning network newsotainment program and they were talking about water.

It was- I believe- the mayor of San Francisco that said "America uses 45 million barrels of oil a year" for the plastic used to make bottled water. Most people don't realize there are no quality standards for bottled water.

There are- however- strict standards for your municipal tap water supplier.

Two wine tasters tasted 12 samples of water sent by the network affiliates in that town. Of the 12- Salt Lake City won out for best tasting tap water. I'm surprised the Kansas City- MO affiliate didn't send the network a sample of our tap water.

According to this Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) report- "Kansas City, Mo., Tap Water Ranks First Nationally."

Would have been nice to see how K.C. would have stacked up against the 12 other cities.
