Funny you should say that. I'm in NYC and I like the tap water. When I travel--like to Texas recently--I can't drink the tap water, it tastes horrible to me. And New Yorkers take a lot of pride in our water actually, it tastes hugely different from most of the rest of the country. Goes to show how personal taste is I guess.

- noer 11y agoGroundwater is bad in Greenpoint but that's not where tap water comes from in New York. Nearly all drinking water in New York City comes from reservoirs & lakes upstate. http://www.nyc.gov/html/dep/html/wastewater/wwsystem-history.shtml http://www.nyc.gov/html/dep/html/wastewater/wwsystem-history...
- biftek 11y agoWe have plenty of bad things in Greenpoint but I'm not sure our tap water is one of them. At least it's not stopping me from drinking it right now. Also, hello neighbors!
