		<description>Kai, 

Thanks for posting your comment and sorry it's taken me so long to reply.

In short, yes, of course we are very much aware of where our water ultimately originates. In fact, we've written about it once or twice. We even posted pictures, that's how very proud we are. It's just that, by saying that it comes from the New York City public water system (its last stop before it reaches our bottles) what we're really saying is that there is, at least in New York City, nothing wrong with tap water and no need to ship in bottles from half-way around the globe. You see, both Coke and Pepsi (Dasani and Aquafina) have gotten in trouble lately for not clearly marking their bottles as have come from "a public water source." This is what we're talking about when we say "Truth in Hydration." We just mean that Tap'd tries to be as open and honest as possible in our marketing efforts.

That said, we appreciate every township, region, and burg, our water passes through as it makes it's way from the mountains to the city. Without it, New Yorkers like us with wither away. Thanks for sharing. If you're ever in town, give a ring, and have a bottle on us. As you seem to already know, it's some of the best stuff on Earth.</description>

		<description>Why don't you start by stating the truth...It's Upstate NY's water; not New York City's water.  It comes from the New York State Water supply system that comes from Rural NY, not the City.  The city is the recipient of this unfiltered water source taken from the locals because they knew their water had a finite time limit to serve the growing area.  Hense the Upstate communities get serverly restricted; Economic Growth squashed to almost nothing and now you insult us with making money off our water from our watershed, promised to you by our founding fathers. Nice neighbors! Think on that when you tip the Bottoms Up on Our water.  Just give credit where it is due.  We the People of Upstate NY promise you clean water...not a profit maker.  And yes, it is a reservior and yeah, it's damn good water...just ask the people who lost their homes and lively hoods to make it possible for you to enjoy.  Smooth and refreshing, cold, cool or even room temp. it taste great!  Enjoy</description>

		<description>An aquifer is actually an underground water source embedded in rock where a reservoir is a man-made collection of water for water supply. 

So the picture is probably a reservoir. Regardless, if it's the Ashokan it's some damn good water.</description>

		<description>I think I saw the Loch Ness Monster in a similar waterway.

Just kidding.

Keep up the good work, it's an important message you're spreading.</description>

		<description>I love the site and I hate to critique but pretty doesn't necessarily mean good. I guess if you're just trying to better acquaint people with their water source that's good, but you should be clearer.</description>

		<description>Really the answer should be 5 and 2, Dasani being tap water on the low, right?</description>

		<description>Tunnel Number Three, the third aqueduct to bring water into the city of New York. Made famous in the movie Die Hard 3 (I believe, maybe 2), it is the largest public works project on earth.</description>

		<description>It's pretty, right? Did you know it's one of only 4 cities in the US that the EPA doesn't require filtering for? The water's just that good (though we still do filter before putting it through the pipes). Once Tunnel Three is up and running the system will be flawless.</description>

		<description>I love a good quiz, but that picture could be of just about anywhere. The more I look at it, the less sure I am even of the scale. Is it a pond or a great lake?</description>
