<p>Are there any water fountains around here? IF not, can I drink tap water?</p>
<p>Of course you can drink the tap water- totally safe! (We've been doing it for years and we haven't died yet!)</p>
<p>There should be water fountains near the restrooms in most academic buildings. I think they may be less common in residential halls and apartments.</p>
<p>The tap water is perfectly safe, though many students prefer keeping a Brita pitcher in the fridge for cleaner-tasting water.</p>
<p>Thanks... so can I assume that bathroom water(not the "toilet water") in old dorms is drinkable?</p>
<p>Also is where can I get water from the EVK? I only find where I can get soda which makes me more thirsty.</p>
<p>Yeah, the sink water is quite drinkable. Other students who have been to EVK more recently can hopefully chime in here, but there should be a "water" lever on atleast one of the soda machines that will dispense tap water. Usually its just above the Sprite or lemonade nozzle. </p>
<p>Otherwise, there may be a free-standing spigot thing nearby with a blue lever that gives out plain water.</p>
<p>FWIW-
Just signed up for Sparkletts water delivery to dorm room at New. There is no contract so you can cancel anytime. You put a note on your door on delivery day (every other week) to let the delivery man know what you want that day.</p>
<p>-Hot/Cold water dispenser rents for $8.50 per month. Cold is nice and cold- hot is hot enough for soup.
-5 gallon bottles are $8.50 per bottle. That's equivalent to $.22 for a half liter bottle or $5.28 for a 24 pack. </p>
<p>You can get a 24 pack of water at the grocery store (on sale) for $3.99 to $4.99 but Sparkletts carries it up four flights of stairs! </p>
<p>Then again, tap water is free.</p>
