I don't know if the central florida water management does it but around here in the Tampa Bay area (as well as in Miami), the water management uses chloramine - which is chlorine PLUS amonia - to filter the water. This is deadly to fish and can not be used for dialysis patients. It requires special filters to be removed. (Link for info.)
Generally speaking though, the water here is utterly unfit to drink. Never has been. Filters or bottled water are always the way to go.

I operate a water treatment plant in the school where I work. Some of this could be caused by the chemicals used in the process. We use 2 different chemicals, and a filter system to treat ours, and we still have bottled water fountains for the kids and staff to use. Our water is drinkable, but I'm not gonna drink it....:hurl:

The water in WDW is sprinkled with pixie dust. You sacrifice a little taste for the magic.

"Safe" and "Dasani" do not go in the same sentence in the UK. Coke really botched up there - they tried to spin the advertising to make it sound like spring water, but it turns out that it came from the Thames and whatever filtration process they used put illegal levels of some substance in it. Even Coke could not recover from that and decided to withdraw the product.Gucci65 said:

It could be worse. Think how nasty the water here is. :hurl:
I won't post about the hundreds of people still missing from Katrina.

Your water tasted bad before Katrina, no offense. I would hesitate (but still use quickly) to shower in it now as I do with our water. We have so much debris still out in the Gulf who knows what is in our systems and I am 9 mos pregnant. Bottled water only wherever I go cause it cannot be any worse than here.

Actually we are driving all night on the school bus
So we will get to WDW early Sunday morning. We do not have matching shirts. My students are excited that they get to be out of their school uniforms for a week, so I didn't press the issue. I am 5'6", white, plump, and have brown hair. My husband is 6'4", blond, with a mustache (he looks like Jeff Foxworthy's older and bigger brother ) We will be with several students about your age. We have more girls than boys in our group. I'll have my eye on you One of my girls is Korean (exchange student) and the rest of my sweeties are various shades of black and white. Look for us. We are from one of the tiniest parishes in north Louisiana, Red River. We are staying off-site. We would love to take a pix with you. Sorry to stray from the thread......drink mixes are money and taste savers!8 days until the "yellow limo" is ºoºrlando bound (school bus-27 teens-930 miles:hammer: :sohappy: )

Yeah, alot of the water is... lack luster. I do recall a few good fountains though. There's one by the Cinderella statue by the castle that's not bad.

Surely no-one likes Beverly (the drink as opposed to the girl). Nothing pleased me more than pointing an unsuspecing enemy (or friend) at the Beverly pump and letting them get a good mouthful of the flavoursome liquid swirling around their tongues and watching their faces.
