<p>is there bottled water available in BS cafeterias?</p>
<p>Not at Exeter, but we shouldn't buy bottled water anyways. all that plastic... Get a durable water bottle and you can fill it up at dhall. (but not nalgene.... something toxic in those... i don't remember much)</p>
<p>Not as SPS either.</p>
<p>well exeter does give athletes bottled water (among other beverages) for away games</p>
<p>oh okay thanks.</p>
<p>Do not drink Exeters town water..its really disgusting hahahah</p>
<p>water fountains have filters</p>
<p>ottled water is the same as tap anyway. I do not like to buy bottled water, but we did purchase a case every now and then for my son while he was at school so he could keep it in his room. He has a thing about drinking water from the bathroom and those were the only taps in the dorm. We are lucky in that our town water is from a small spring-fed pond and is minimally treated. Most of the bs in this mentioned on this board are from fairly rural, unpolluted areas; I would not be concerned about the water.
Many of the schools focus on being green, and bottled water does not really jibe with that.</p>
<p>Bottled Water Is The Same As Tap Water?</p>
<p>Bottled</a> Water Isn't Healthier Than Tap, Report Reveals</p>
<p>To summarize,
- The plastic creates a ton of garbage, and consumes a lot of energy
- It's more expensive to drink bottled water
- estimated 25% of bottled water is really just tap water in a bottle
- the minerals found in some bottled waters are dangerous to babies
- some plastics leach chemicals into our water (not in that article)</p>
<p>NOT at Exeter, though-- do not drink tap water at Exeter, like sullivan09 said. One of my dormmates invested in a Brita filter for the dorm, though, and the water tasted just like bottled water (if not better) after it went through the filter. D-hall water is good too. Some dorms and the music building has poland spring in the water bubblers.</p>
<p>ahhh, thanks for that tuesdayair..
just wondering though, does Exeter have some sort of plastic bottle recycling system?</p>
<p>Exeter water is okay for rinsing after brushing your teeth, right?
Why is Exeter water so bad?</p>
<p>Exeter's big on recycling. You can find recycling bins almost everywhere. However it's questionable whether the facilities staff are educated on recycling and whether the bottles/paper we sort actually get recycled.</p>
<p>yes it's fine for rinsing
I think it's because Exeter's a historical town and the piping system is old. I'm actually not sure on this one though.</p>
<p>No, its not polluted it just tastes really bad. No one in exeter drinks out of the foucet, they all drink like bottled water</p>
<p>Yeah I'm sure it's okay to drink --it has to be, I would think, for it to be approved...but two years ago my chem teacher stored the water for a couple of weeks in a clean beaker and it turned yellow-ish and really gross.</p>
