LVA Question of the Day - 2 MAR 2008

#1

Q: You see visitors buying and carrying bottled water. This
can become very expensive and -- with not being able to bring
a bottle of water through security at McCarran Airport -- big
bucks here. Is the bottled water we pay so dearly for just tap
water? Is the tap water in Las Vegas good, just OK, or bad?

I live in Henderson and have a whole house water filter system. I do
not find the water bad-tasting. I have found a "work-around" for the
airport problem. You are allowed to take an empty bottle through
security in your carry-on. So, before I leave town (both ways), I
have an empty bottle ready (just save one of those bottles that you
get at the casino--keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to
go) and when I get through security, I fill it with water from the
fountain in the airports. Works for me--and I'm very cheap--or is that
"frugal". Katy

Katy, I do the same thing. Yes, there is a fine line between "cheap" and "frugal." I consider this "frugal" because it only is a bother for myself. I consider something "cheap" if it is a bother or imposition for someone else!

A lot has been written and will have to find the websites about the quality of tap water perhaps being equal to many bottled waters without all the plastic bottles ending up in landfills. A fast one may have been put over us by many in the bottled water industry to sell their product ( I drink it too as the cocktail waitress brings it when you requets water) creating the thought that tap water is unfit. I am sure that the case is the sam ein most places tap water and bottled water can be good or bad and tests seem to indicate this.
