Los Angeles Observation #1: Tap Water Here Is Terrible
During my time here I’m going to be making some observations about life and culture here in Los Angeles. I’ve already noticed a bunch, but I’ll ease into it here:
Los Angeles Observation #1: The tap water is terrible
On the day that I first arrived here, my friend Ashley told me that I should look into getting a Brita water filter, or some sort of home water service, because the tap water wasn’t good. Now, being from Hamilton Ontario (don’t laugh, we have great out of the tap water) I thought she was just being a typical LA girl, and that it was just all the rage to BUY your water, so I pretty much ignored her advice. WRONG DECISION!
My very first taste of the water made me cringe. I will never doubt Ashely again, nor will I ever take for granted the beauty of Canadian out of the tap water again.

As a fellow Canadian I agree that the water in Canada needed nothing added or changed. We lived in Calgary for 5 years and grew up in Saskatoon and our water never needed filtration.
I live in Texas and yes, you guessed it we buy our water and at certain times of the year need a nose plug just to shower in the stuff. I feel your pain!

We moved from Michigan to northern California for 2 years. The strangest thing that family and friends couldn’t believe was that we BOUGHT WATER AT THE WATER STORE.
Yeah, the water store. We bought a few 5 gallon jugs and went to the water store in the strip mall to get our water…25cents a gallon.
The problem is when we returned to Michigan, we couldn’t drink the tap water. We got so used to the highly filtered, that we now have a water filter on our MI water.
