I've got cloudy/disgusting tap water here in my student halls, too. The only way to make it palatable is to just leave the tap running for 10-20 seconds before filling up your cup/kettle. So I do this. The water is still a little gross - I wouldn't drink a cup of water from it, I'd need to add some juice or tea or whatever to it first. Sometimes there are also flakes of limescale or something that come out the tap. I took a sip of that once and it almost made me become Physically Sick.

I went to a student union meeting a while back where they were talking about reducing the selection of bottled water in union run shops around campus and making sturdy water bottles available etc along with a couple more water dispensers. It seemed like a good idea to me. If I was the type of guy to drink water and go for runs or do a sports, I'd definitely use the water fountains.

I'm curious to know just how the price tag of bottled water adds up. I mean everyone knows WHAT A RIP OFF MAN but I want to know how much of a rip off. Sure, 90% for the bottle and the label but how much is profit margin.

I like my water how I like my women: chalky as fuck. Round here it's chalky as fuck. We got a lot of chalk in the ground hence the white cliffs of dover and I like it.

you guys live in some filthy fucking places huh.

also mark is your sig an odd but interesting quote.

i live in the 2nd cheapest option for student halls so i guess that water de-cloudifier is the first thing to go when you're on a budget. they've got better quality stuff in the other halls.

Nah I saw it on a games forum somewhere. The formatting was already like that and I thought whoa that's a pretty odd thing to say but interesting too

yeah, this is how it is in my dorms, i don't mind using it with oatmeal or soup or something but drinking it is beyond disgusting, and letting the tap run for a while doesn't help any...sometimes i wonder if there's even a reason to take a shower considering i'll just smell like this gross water

get a pot, boil your goddamn water and save the critters

not possible unless i microwave it

it's called an electric kettle
new zealand has some of the best drinking water in the world and we still buy bottled water like it's going out of fashion. i used to get one of them and refill it until the bottle looked scungy but then they changed the bottle design because they were starting fires so now i use other bottles. the end.

I just piss in my mouth when I'm thirsty

it's called an electric kettle

for the amount of water i drink that's not worth the price

I refill my big drinking water bottles at the co-op and take a big water bottle to work with me and make sure I drink all of it.

Individual bottles of water are for suckas

you don't drink water??

i drink it pretty often at home but mostly at school i drink soda or milk

i seriously NEED to drink more water tho

I drink tap water no matter how cloudy

only thing that matters to me is overall temperature tbh

I drink around 1 gallon of water per day. But I use the same bottle...

I just refill my bottle at the gym, school or home (filtered water).

I drink bottled water but I can't justify it since I don't really care about the difference in taste or quality from my tap!

I just kind of do. Sorry environment!

Maybe I'll go find a permanent bottle or something tomorrow.
