Do you know what it would take for our municipal water systems to collapse? Either a global environmental disaster, or the total collapse of civilization.
Sure no problem. More water in the bottles for us.MikoWilson wrote: ↑Feb 19th, 2019 5:52 pmDo you know what it would take for our municipal water systems to collapse? Either a global environmental disaster, or the total collapse of civilization.
Yeah, it's going to be pretty dang shitty. Human beings would quickly turn into animals in either case.

Adding in dentist appointments is going to effect the already complicated price formulae!
Even if you recycle, the amount of energy spent on BOILING the water, bottling the water, creating the bottles, and transporting the bottles is enormous.

Interesting that you actually believe this. Just because you don't like tap water (I don't either) doesn't mean you need to buy 24 packs of water bottles, that is extremely wasteful just for daily water drinking. Use the refillable 18L bottles and use that for example.

In Milton, I'm paying a fixed service charge of $30.69/month and then $2.5231 per m^3 (1000 L) of water up to 110 m^3, i.e. 0.2531 cents/L. Health authorities commonly recommend drinking 2 L of water daily. So $30.69/30 days + (0.2531 cents/L * 2 L) = $1.53. Compare with cost of bottled water, $1/24 500 mL bottles = 4.2 cents/500 mL bottle * 4 = $0.17 to drink 2 L.
$1.53/$0.17 = 9, so 9 times cheaper to drink bottled water.
I did the same. Its nice always having very cold water. I buy one case of water a year for when I go out and don't want to buy children $1-3 bottles of water or any other drinks while out.torontotuner wrote: ↑Feb 19th, 2019 7:36 pmI bought a Brita pitcher and use tap water now and never looked back!
Because people enjoy confirmation bias, even if that confirmation is from a dude using faulty math and terrible logic. People!crystallight wrote: ↑Feb 19th, 2019 7:33 pm
How the heck did this post get 5 likes?
You obviously don't include the fixed $30.69/month that you'll have to pay regardless of how much water you use.
Either you can't follow logic or you're just being disingenuous. Which one is it?
Here's the real math:
Tap water = 0.2531 cents/L * 2L = 0.50 cents (not dollars). That's right, it costs you half a penny per day.
Bottled water = 16.67 cents
$0.167/$0.005 = 33, so 33 times cheaper to drink tap water compared bottled water.
I'm not even hating on this deal. This is an amazing deal on bottled water. But your math sucks.
