Alla jag kande i New York hade watercooler leveranser hem eller kopte flaskvatten. Visst kunde man dricka det - men det var inte gott som sagt. Nu var detta ett antal ar sedan sa det kanske blivit battre.
Konstigt. NY anses allmänt ha bland det bästa kranvattnet i USA. Förutsättningarna verkar vara desamma som för de bästa kranvattnen i Sverige.
"It is, after all, one of the nation's healthiest water supplies -- so fresh that in 2007 the Environmental Protection Agency said it did not need filtration. New York pizza and bagel makers have long credited local water as a special baking ingredient. It goes down soft, without hints of tart-tasting minerals or chlorine like other public water systems.
The water comes from a system of 19 reservoirs and three lakes in upstate New York -- some flowing to the city from as far as 125 miles away. Most of the supply is protected and filtered by the natural processes of upstate ecosystems. It dissolves natural minerals while traveling over land or through the ground.
Michael Saucier, a spokesman for the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, notes that the city's water beat 150 other municipal water systems in New York state in a taste test last summer."
