BTW - The kids bottles we bought were flouridated. Arrowhead has gone Red!

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Flouride doesn't make water taste any different. It's measured in parts per billion part of water, so there is hardly any in there at all. Anybody who claims they can taste the flouride either has extremely sensitive taste buds (which would make eating anything as spicy as Kraft mac and cheese painful from all the different flavors), or is just lying. My vote is the latter.
Originally Posted By zekeayala I do agree that DL tap water is on the nasty side...however I have a family member that lives not too far from DLR and I drink her water and nothing is really wrong with it...but I just don't understand how they taste different. Maybe Disney has a secret magical watering hole that tastes...well...not so magaical. LOL

Originally Posted By WiniPu I think the water quality depends on where in Anaheim you are. Some of it is well water. I grew up there, and drank tap water. Tap water tasted O.K. when I lived in my parent's house. When I moved out into an apartment, the water was not so good. If you let the water sit, sediment would fall to the bottom. That's when I started drinking bottled water. My youngest DS insists on drinking tap water when he's at grandma's.

So it's been a huge inside joke ever since then!

Anaheim's awful tasting water is outdone by two other places. One is San Bruno, CA, and the other is Las Vegas. Both places are pretty much undrinkable in my book, Anaheim's is only drinkable because of the cost of water in the park.

I think a lot of the difference is local to the particular building's pipes, or even the tap you're drinking from. The water at work tastes awful (even I don't like to drink it and I'm usually a tap water drinker) but the water in the next building over, within the same business park, tastes fine to me.
