When you live in a big city, especially if it's Paris, you have every right to wonder where the water that flows from your tap comes from and what its quality is.

While it is now well established that, for economic and ecological reasons, it is preferable to drink tap water rather than bottled water, the fact remains that its composition can nevertheless be a cause for concern, given the number of pollutants that have now been identified.

When you think of the ‘big city’, you can legitimately think that pollution is not an empty word and that the water that comes out of our pipes is loaded with it. You will learn in the following article that the water is collected far enough away from Paris to avoid just such problems, thanks to works dating back more than a century, built under the Second Empire, and that, thanks to the commitment of certain farmers involved in organic farming, the use of herbicides and other pollutants is partly under control, making it possible to obtain quality water all the same.

If you're not lucky enough to live in a commune where the water is irreproachable and free from pollution, you can always get Berkey® water purifiers to ensure that your water is pure and healthy!
