thefridayfive quesitons
1. Do you mostly drink tap, filtered, or bottled water?
Tap water at home - I drink at least a litre a day. If we're out for a meal I'll also ask for tap water. When travelling, especially abroad, I'll drink bottled water.
2. Is it safe/recommended to drink tap water where you live? If not, why?
Definitely. And it saves plastic waste.
3. What does the tap water taste/smell like where you live?
I don't think it has a particular taste, and definitely no smell. Someone else might notice a slight taste if it was different from their own tap water.
4. Do you collect rainwater? If so, what do you use it for?
Yes. Watering the garden plants, water bowls for the birds, rinsing out waste bins.
5. Do you/have you ever had restrictions on water use where you live? What did you have to change about your lifestyle?
We sometimes have a hosepipe ban during a long, hot summer, but as we don't have a hosepipe, this doesn't make a lot of difference.
