In this letter, the author expresses concern over the increasing use of bottled water and home water treatment units. Use of bottled water or home treatment devices may result in less commitment to public water supplies and lower water standards. The author emphasizes the importance of implementing programs to educate people about high quality public water supplies, which should make alternative sources less desirable.
