So all the folks in Dallas taking this opportunity to get your laugh on, don't laugh too hard; you're drinking someone's pi$$ and sh%t from up north. The amount of times that the water gets recycled and cleaned makes all this a moot point anyway. Like someone said earlier, not even bottled water is completely free of impurities, or even the air we breathe, but at least the chemicals get it to where its not harmful.

I know that but it's still funny. The Trinity River starts in North Texas so it's impossible for us to drink waste water from up north.

Well maybe not necessarily the north, but it feeds into reservoirs and arteries where from someone's wastewater emptied to. Dallas's water supply comes reservoirs and rivers leading from somewhere. Just because the Trinity starts in texas doesn't mean jack. It merges paths with bodies of water that got emptied into. Lakes of: Ray Hubbard, Ray Roberts, Grapevine, and Lake Tawakoni.

All those lakes are in the Trinity River watershed except Lake Tawakoni. Lake Ray Hubbard and Lake Ray Roberts gets it's water straight from the Trinity River. The rest gets their water from the tributaries of the Trinity River.

Doesn't matter. It's still feeds off an artery using someone's recycled water.

With most homes & businesses having some sort of secondary water filtration (refrigerators, coffee makers, Zero Water, etc.) these days I don't see what all the fuss is about.

Arlington, Fort Worth, & Austin have the best quality tap water in Texas out of the larger cities anyways, not Dallas or Houston.

Yup!

Even 25-40% of the bottled water is regular old tap water poured into a plastic bottle.

So next time you buy that $1.25 12 oz. bottle of Ozarka just know you're buying filtered tap water.

For the record Plano's tap water ranked pretty high in quality of taste.

Ignorance seems to spread like flies on a s...t field.
