Tap water that comes from Lake Michigan, which is very excellent water.

Tap water is water that comes directly out of my kitchen or bathroom faucet. A tap is a faucet.

Wikipedia says:

"A water fountain or drinking fountain is designed to provide drinking water and has a basin arrangement with either continuously running water or a tap. Modern indoor drinking fountains may incorporate filters to remove impurities from the water and chillers to reduce its temperature. In some regional dialects, water fountains are referred to as bubblers. Water fountains are usually found in public places, like schools, rest areas and grocery stores."

The drain takes the excess water into the sewage system where it is filtered and purified before being released back into the environment--ground, lake, ocean, etc.

Of course not lol, the water goes through the filtering process again

Comments on this post
Wondergirl agrees: But it doesn't go back up into the drinking fountain for the next person to drink. It goes down the drain to the sewer.

I like the tap water at my parent's house. Their well has great tasting water (It's from lake michigan too...sorta. Well, about 30 miles away). I have city water where I live, it sucks. I'd prefer bottled water over mine (filtered is okay, but it still tastes weird if it's from the same source)

Comments on this post
Wondergirl agrees: It is being revealed that bottled water is usually tap water and nothing special from a "spring"--read the fine print on the label to find out the source.

When I lived in western NY just south of another Great Lake, Lake Ontario, our water was piped in from that lake and was also excellent and good tasting.

When we first moved to this Chicago suburb where I still live, our water was piped in from village wells. The water was "hard" with many minerals, so we had to purchase a water softener that was hooked up to our water pipes and kept thick scum from forming when we washed dishes, bodies, and clothes. My aunt lived in another Chicago suburb where the wells contained a lot of iron, so sinks and toilets and bathtubs ended up with yellow rings and layers of crust if they weren't treated with chemicals.

Well water in Northern NJ, I've heard, has a peculiar taste but is not harmful to humans.
