How reliable is your water?

Water Testing data from backthetap.ca

backthetap.ca is an effort to get people to drink tap water rather than bottled water. I found a flier outside the Student's Union office at Okanagan College.

We all drink water and assume, or at least hope, that there is some sort of routine testing that will keep us safe. That did not turn out to be the case in Walkerton, but according to this flier, Toronto tap water is tested every 5 hours, while the average time between inspections of a bottled water facility is 2.5 years. So, the water in Toronto is tested over 4000 times more frequently than bottled water.

So, the question if you are drinking bottled water may be, "Do you feel lucky?"
