I was going on the first half of your statement &quot;buying bottled water or refillable purified tap water&quot;.<p>The latter half is still a lot more expensive than municipal water. Do you also use that water for cooking? Washing your vegetables? Washing the dishes? Bathing? Brushing your teeth?<p>In Flint the government recommendation (if you can believe them) is to use filtered water for the first two, which means you&#x27;ll need to fetch a lot of water for pasta night.<p>If you have kids, &quot;Michigan’s top poison control doctor said parents should take care to limit the time children are in the bath and be sure they don’t drink any of the water&quot; <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.detroitnews.com&#x2F;story&#x2F;news&#x2F;politics&#x2F;2016&#x2F;01&#x2F;11&#x2F;doctors-worry-bathing-kids-flint-water&#x2F;78657992&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.detroitnews.com&#x2F;story&#x2F;news&#x2F;politics&#x2F;2016&#x2F;01&#x2F;11&#x2F;do...</a> , and they shouldn&#x27;t use the water to brush their teeth.<p>That&#x27;s even more RO water to fetch.
