Your cat call tell the difference between tap water and Evian?

Either you cat is Duchess from the Aristocats or your town's water supply is drawn from 3 Mile Island.

Wish i could take the credit for the math or the figures i'm not that smart. The information was taken from other reports. But to
answer the weather i do or not? I'll say as i did before. We don't buy it at any cost. Hetch Hetchey does a wonderful job around here. The water taste great without our reverse osmosis system.

Typical price for a 24 pack of 16oz bottles at Costco, etc. = $7.15. 24 x 16oz = 384oz. This equates to 3 gallons. Price per gallon = $2.38

Average US price for a gallon of gas is currently $2.56.

You can buy also buy a 1 gallon jug of water much, much cheaper.

Damn right she can! Do you know very much about animals? Dogs and cats can smell the chlorine and flouride in the water that we never even notice. I spoiled her when I started giving her Evian but I don't blame her one bit! She ain't stupid... once she got a taste of the good stuff there was no giong back . Plus the lack of all those chemicals in the water help with her kidneys. That's why I started giving it to her.

Though not drawn from 3 Mile Island, the tap water here is very hard and has a funny taste to it. I don't mind brushing my teeth or washing the clothes with it but I'd rather drink something else. I don't care what anyone says about Evian (or the backwards spelling of the name). I can tell if the water is just purified tap crap or real spring water after just one sip. The difference is night and day.

I actually drink Poland Spring when I can and since we have well water at home that runs everything orange -- including my insides I'm sure -- we have a PUR filter on the drinking faucet. We've had 2 filters in the unit and the window is already getting an iron haze to it.
