Tap Water
>> Dec 1, 2010
Tap water (city water, municipal water) is a main component of indoor plumbing, which became available in urban areas of the developed world during the last quarter of the 19th century, and common during the mid-20th century. The application of technologies involved in providing clean water to homes, businesses and public buildings is a major subfield of sanitary engineering (Wikipedia).In our home, we use tap water for various purposes, but we still seldom use tap water for our drinking water (of course, after we boil the water before). Indonesia’s tap water isn’t yet safe to drink straightly without boiling it first. My father can’t drink boiled tap water, he always gets stomach ache after drinking it. Fortunately, I and my husband don’t have the similar problem. Until now, for drinking water, we subscribe bottled water. How about you? I’ve heard about the controversy between tap water and bottled water in USA; what kind of water that you choose to drink in your place?
