Mar 28 2022 • 39 mins

Bottled water is America's most popular drink, but is it really superior to tap water?  Host Jeff Szabo sits down with journalist Ryan Felton of Consumer Reports to talk about Felton's 2019 cover story "Is Bottled Water Safer" (00:59).  SCWA Director of Water Quality & Laboratory Services Kevin Durk tests a series of bottled water brands to see how they stack up against SCWA tap water (26:52). Correspondent Seth Wallach hits the streets of Sayville to find out which water Suffolk residents prefer and why (23:46), and see if anyone knows how much tap water really costs (30:13). Finally, Jeff speaks with Dennis Kelleher of H2M Architects + Engineers to discuss the public perceptions of tap water vs. bottled water, and what the industry can do to help change that perception (32:32).
