What is Denver's water like? I would imagine with the Rockies it can get its water from springs...
Denver’s water is very good, but not from springs. It’s snowmelt collected in the reservoirs.
Vegas water is among the worst I’ve tasted. I don’t go for bottled water most places, but in Vegas I make an exception. The amount of minerals I see when I use a hotel iron there tells me all I need to know.
NYC and Chicago have the best major city tap water. NYC gets theirs from the Adirondacks further into NY state and Chicago from fresh water Lake Michigan. It has the largest filtration plant in the world. and suplies many of its suburbs too. Niether will face water shortages that other cities are threatened with, or sub-par tap water.
I think it's all a matter of familiarity, Wherever you grew up probably has decent tasting tap water to you, as that is what your taste buds have adapted to. When I moved to Los Angeles from Denver back in the 90"s, the water literally came out cloudy like lemonade, and you had to wait 5 seconds for it to clear up, I never drank it, but plenty of my friends did, and I could imagine it tasted awful. That's when I discovered botteld water and haven't looked back since.
Yup...indeed they did. Lake Erie in front of Cleveland used to catch on fire a lot 30 or so years ago because it was so polluted, thus earning Cleveland the nickname "The Mistake By The Lake" I believe. I could be wrong about this being the reason Cleveland earned that nickname.
Probably not posting here any longer but wrong on all counts. Lake Erie did not catch on fire a lot. It is not the reason Cleveland is called "Mistake On The Lake."
