There has been some reference to bottled water online over the past few mon=
ths and concerns centering around such.  I admit that I do buy bottled wate=
r.  I do not like clorinated water and thus in the past when I lived in Lun=
enburg=2C bought water.  Now that I'm out in the country again=2C Lunenburg=
 County has a lot of iron in the water.  Dublin Shore was really bad for th=
is and even with water softener everything that came in contact with this w=
ater was stained brown within a week.  Here in Bayport the iron is not too =
bad=2C but it is still present and I do not feel safe drinking the water as=
 a result.  Anyhow=2C the purpose of this posting is to say that I've Boy-c=
otted PC bottled water.  I've had too many bottles in which the water taste=
d like plastic.  Some of the bottles were so bad that I could not consume t=
he whole bottle.  I took a number of these bottles back to the store=2C but=
 did not get a return on my money or replacement bottles and they basically=
 ignored my complaints.  This is the only water that I've purchased in whic=
h I've notice repeatedly a plastic taste.  To my knowledge they did not eve=
n send the water off for testing.  In hindsight I should have taken the wat=
er myself to be tested.  Anyhow=2C I just wanted to make others aware of th=
e issues with Presidents Choice Water.  I kept going back in hopes that it =
was just a specific batch of water=2C but I've had the plastic taste too ma=
ny times for me to feel safe drinking their water.
