SF water is touted as being crystal clear – which it probably is at Hetch Hetchy. By the time it flows from my faucet, it is contaminated with chloramine, which is supposed to be better than chlorine to purify it. Have you ever noticed that a cup of water has a blue tinge to it? Chlorine at least dissipates when water is left standing, chloramine does not. Chloramine kills fresh water fish, rots latex filters in valves, eats through old pipes in houses – to me it’s a menace. Therefor, I buy bottled water – more expensive or not.

There is so much to learn about it and it is so relevant that kids become aware of it to.

Check out A Drop of Water: A Book of Science and Wonder
written and photographed by Walter Wick.

The photography and explanations are fantastic.
