People have no idea how fortunate this is until it's gone. Several years ago we had a bad algae bloom in the river that supplies our water and we couldn't drink it for a couple weeks. Every store in town was out of water and you had people with well water leaving hoses and signs out front of their house offering it up to people. One Pilot gas station tried scalping 6 packs of Dasani for ~$50. It's so crazy how you take it for granted until you can't just go to the sink to fill up a cup of water (we have excellent tap water) along with taking for granted the fact that stores have bottled water on the shelves.
Ever since then we've kept a small stock pile of water in the garage just in case.
Thanks, i sould appreciate it more. Tap water in switzerland is maybe even healthier as bottled water.
