From the article:

And Ottawa earned an F  - no change from 2006 - because its record of poor protection for drinking water "continues to worsen."

That's really scary. I'm thankful we have an R/O unit.

I find this really interesting, since Almonte water is a TDS of 500+ where as ottawa is a TDS of 60-80.  I have drank ottawa water and almonte water as well, I prefer ottawa water to almonte.

I realize TDS doesn't tell you whats in the water, but it tells you there is 400%+ less then almontes!!!! 

PS:  I drink RODI water, nothing from the tap here.

They are referencing Ottawa as the federal government. Ottawa's water supply is consistently ranked among the highest in North America.

Good choice.... Almonte water is so loaded up with crap.
