PepsiCo Inc. will spell out that its Aquafina bottled water is made with tap water, a concession to the growing environmental and political opposition to the bottled water industry.
.... I don't like either of those bottled waters. I always wondered why Aquafina and Dasani didn't taste like other bottled waters, now I know. I prefer Arrowhead or any other natural spring sourced water but do try to drink more from my filtered tap at home. It's good to hear that there are some cities encouring their citizens to drink tap water. If only they could make it taste as good as bottled.
I drink a lot of water and am also on the go most days. Bottled water for me is just very convenient to grab and take with me for the day. I try to reuse my bottles and fill them again but I do buy bottled water. I have always liked Aquafina and have not noticed a big difference in the taste of it compared to other brands. I have also read that even though it is from a public source it goes through an intense purification process. Basically, my biggest concern is the quality and safety of the water I'm drinking so it makes me feel good to know exactly where it is coming from.
I don't buy bottled water anyway; I just use a water filtration system. It's worth it and I know what I'm getting.
