As of 2026, the source of approximately 64% of bottled water in the United States is municipal tap water. The difference? You know where your tap water in Madison comes from. And it doesn't come in one use plastic! Drink local. It's water you can trust:https://www.cityofmadison.com/water/documents/water-quality/WaterQualityEnglish.pdf
