Well, not always. Premium brands are often shipped long distances. Evian, Fiji water, etc...

I used to like their glass bottles, recently I bought again and found they have switched to plastic (at least in some markets) that looks the same and even feels the same until you open it. Fooled me once, shame on them; will never buy again.

If you look carefully at the base of the bottle, the glass version has molding marks (raised dots and ridges) that aren't present the plastic version.

I've seen New York City municipal water sold in supermarkets on the west coast. The brand was something clever like NYC2O.

I wonder if anyone's tried making bagels with it yet.

There was a place in Las Vegas called Glaziers that had New York City water trucked in to make its bagels. They were very good, but very expensive.

It's out of business now.
