Truth in Hydration is a bottled water companyTruth in Hydration is the blog of Tap'dNY, a bottled water company that sells ... New York tap water in bottles! To market their product, the company's "street team" went about Central Park refilling people's empty bottled water with good ol' fashioned NYC tap!

Update 9/12/08: Sorry, my mistake. The company is Tap'dNY, Truth in Hydration is its blog - Thanks Jake!
Problem is: added chlorine and added fluoride and the journey through hideous pipes, not to mention the nasty pipes in most apartments.
Still better than London's tap water which is recycled 7 times (7 people have already drank it!) UGH!
I'll stick to Polish Spring and recycle the plastic bottles thanks.
The National Geographic Channel produced a video on the construction of the aqueducts that carry water to NYC. The engineering accomplishments of that project truly are mind-boggling to this day.
They literally flooded an entire town upstate and constructed underground waterways for the water to reach NYC.
