When it comes to choosing drinking water, more and more people are turning on the tap instead of buying it in plastic water bottles. Besides being a whole lot cheaper, most tap water rates just as high in terms of quality and purity, especially in the Bay Area.

That’s because large cities face strict water quality testing requirements from the Environmental Protection Agency, while bottled water isn’t as rigorously regulated. So why not turn on the tap, cut your waste and save money?
