So crazy! I'm so picky about drinking water. We "supposedly" can drink our tap water but since I"ve lived in places it wasn't safe I don't take chances. But the bottled water thing is contributing to the plastic problem. I'm guilty as charged. I guess it's time to invest in a water purification system. I just hate doing so because when I put one in it's almost a guarantee I'll be moving (guess this is motivation enough to speed things up). Good article.
You forgot to mention rain water....we leave 3-6 5 gallon buckets outside to collect rain water...not great for drinking...but it flushes toilets and washes dishes!!!
Yes, rain water is another good option. Where our barrels are located, the rain isn't able to enter. We run a hose from the back pipe, topping up the barrels here and there (close lid) with a little bleach to avoid mosquitoes.

I'm thinking about investing in a water purification system also, but for now its all about the "Botellón". Thank you for your read.
