Methods of Delivery Bottle Public Water Well Water
7
Criteria Health and Safety Taste Convenience Cost Environmental Impact

Bottle Health and Safety- Subject to FDA not EPA (less strict), leaching of plastic Taste- dependent on location Convenience- benefit for consumer but not logistically Cost- 100-1000 X public water Environmental Impact- high (plastic use, shipping)
9
Public Water Health and Safety- EPA regulated up to meter Taste- Point of use filtration Convenience- pumped to point of use Cost- low Environmental Impact- depletion of sources, treatment plant emissions, underground construction
10
Well Water Health and Safety- Testing and purification not regulated Taste- due to source and effectiveness of purification Convenience- maintenance and testing required Cost- installation can be high but cost to operate is generally lower than city water Environmental Impact- dependent on location and consciousness of construction
