Have you heard of the story about the beautiful, healthy young daughter of a local farmer in Lausanne, Switzerland? This father worked very hard all year long planting potatoes and beans and had high expectations for his crop this year. Then, all of a sudden, he had a problem.

His tap water had a terrible taste. So, he immediately stopped using it and started drinking bottled water instead. Within days, he noticed that the quality of the bottled water was not as good as his tap water. He then did some research and found out that most of the bottled companies in the area were using very poor quality tap water to bottle their brand and then ship it all over the world.

This is a sad example of how poorly tap water quality can be overlooked by so many people. However, there are some companies in Lausanne that use only clean tap water to bottle their mineral water and send it all over the world. These companies know that pure water is probably the best way

The estimated price of bottled water

$1.1 in USD (1.5-liter)
