          Lol. That said, there are multiple companies involved in producing that tap water. So somebody is profiting from that glass of water, it’s just a lot less than the bottled stuff.

              Right, but there will be contractors and whatnot involved in the process, and there is certainly commercial equipment used in the process.

        Gosh I’m jelly though, I’m in the UK and tap water used to be drinkable, but now it’s more hydrocarbon than hydrogen dioxide these days. Joy of privatised utilities eh?
