Fair enough. This is not a lake in the mountains though, it's right outside Oslo next to a bunch of farmland.
Maybe things are different in Europe, in most of the US the highest quality water is from the tap. Bottled water is at best just repackaged tap water, and the expensive brands are usually just shipped from somewhere far away with worse standards than your local municipality.
- dagss 2y agoWith "high quality" do you refer to taste or safety? In Norway, tap water countryside can be quite tasty but in cities there has often been chlorine added and it just taste worse. And bottled water is bottled mountain water with good taste (in Norway), not as good as tap water countryside but better than tap water in cities. Most other places I have been in the world tap water tastes...not good. UK, France, Spain, California... I mean I can adapt, good water is not essential to life, but.. it is just something else. I am sure mountain regions in US would have excellent tap water though, no reason they should not have.
- seszett 2y agoNot sure about the other countries but it's probably the same, in France at least tap water tastes very different in different places. In the West it's often awful, in the more mountainous areas it's very good, in Paris and the North it's ok.
- devilbunny 2y agoNYC has very high-quality water. It's all from the mountains north of the city. It does have a somewhat unusual taste, but it's better than what I get at home (which comes from a river and smells a bit swampy).
