In fairness, I give you this article on where to find the cleanest water at North Bend Middle School in Oregon. (Which is near Mt. Bachelor, a brutal place to ski in deep powder if you are a novice like me. I wrenched my knee there many years ago.)
Heh heh… Makes me laugh, but this is pretty disgusting. I’ll never drink out of the fountains at work again. I’ll take my corporate schwag hot/cold 20 oz travel cup to the kitchen first.
Tap water you bottle yourself. Couldn’t be cheaper than that.
I was at a barbecue on Sunday. I found myself drinking water all afternoon in the heat and not wanting much beer at all. Water really is best.

How gross! I’ve always wondered about the cleanliness of drinking fountains, but I never had solid information like this. The only problem I have with down-pour water coolers, like the ones at my office, is that many people put small-mouthed water bottles up to them, touching the bottle opening (where their mouth goes) to the water spout. I know this because there’s often a ring of pink lipstick on the spout! Yuck!
I know water bottles are bad for the environment, but I CAN tell a difference in taste between bottled and fountain….also…how do I carry the foutain water around with me?
Amber: your questions begs for the obvious answer. A NALGENE BOTTLE!!!!
Yeah, and some of them (Nalgenes) have a larger mouth and thus won’t need to touch the spout!
The nalgenes are so handy – I make iced tea in mines so I don’t drink anything sweet. I just swirl and shake my 32oz nalgene with different tea bags and water from work and viola I’ve got a refreshing beverage.
I’ve never been to Mt. Bachelor even though I lived in Bend once. My favorite small town except the road to Portland is very loopy.
