Recent Poll Finds Budget Conscious Consumers Benefitting from Value of Tap Water! - Printable Version - November 6, 2009 - 0 Comments

A recent Harris Poll found that one thing economical-minded consumers have been cutting out of their budgets in this tight economy is bottled water.

 

In fact, the poll of 2,293 adults surveyed online in October 2009, finds that 36% of adults "switched to tap water and refillable bottles instead of bottled water."

 

What great news! It sounds to me like people are truly starting to see the economic benefits of tap water.

 

In Portland:

 

748 gallons (1 ccf) of Bull Run tap water $2.44
1,000 gallons of Bull Run tap water $3.26
3 gallons of Bull Run tap water $0.01
