I've boiled them down myself, and that Tulsa tap water will cover the bottom of the pot with a layer of white chalky substance.

All the bottled waters leave a smaller amount of white residue, and the Ozarka Spring Water leaves almost nothing behind when it boils.

So lecture me all you want, I'm only drinking Ozarka.

I won't even give my dog that Tulsa tap water. Nasty, nasty chicken poop, chemical-laden liquid. Absolutely never going to drink it.

If they take bottled water off the shelf, I'd buy a purifier before ingesting it.

Are you aware that Ozarka bottled is tap water from the fabulous city of Houston, TX?

You're confused. That's Aquafina.

Ozarka "Spring Water" cannot be spring water if its source is a city tap.

Look guys, I don't know why conducting my own experiment is considered a marketer's dream.

But seriously, with all the publicity about the poultry lawsuit, why do wouldn't I think something is wrong with Tulsa's water supply?

Anyway, the boiling test proves that spring water contains less chemicals than the tap water. I'll take my water with less chemicals, thanks.

Anyone attend this seminar? I wonder what the consensus was amongst the scientific faculty who spoke.

Did anyone see this article about the recent water conference and the taste test?

Tulsa World

Tulsa finished in a second-place tie with Arkansas' Center Grove district at 51 points but then lost a playoff round for the official runner-up designation.

[RecycleMichael]

There was a tasting competition at the conference last night.

Five blind samples...water from Tulsa tap north of I-44, south of I-44, Ozarka, Fiji, and Best Choice.

Tulsa tap water from north (Mohawk plant) was first, Fiji and Tulsa tap from south tied for second, best choice was fourth and Ozarka was last.

The Ozarka guy said "ouch" when they announced the results.

Minerals, not chemicals.

[cannon_fodder]

No offense, but your experiment "proves" that there is more residue left behind when you boil the two waters.  Some chemicals readily boil away, or even dissipate from standing water (chlorine).  Still others leave no visible residue.  

I understand your concerns, but honestly the vendors at the fair face far more scrutiny than a bottled water company.

Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face?

I think this one is always so funny. I'm not one to blindly trust our government, and I do belive some of the conspiracy theories out there (yes big brother is watching), but the flouride thing is just ridiculous.

I am no scientist, but I would think that if we have been putting flouride in our water for over 50 years, and it were that bad for us, then we would see more people experienceing detrimental effects, aside from having good teeth. What a shame we should have good teeth.

Yes, flouride is a poison, and will kill you, but only if you ingest high doses, larger than you could possibly aquire from tap water. You would get poisoned by the water before the flouride.

Just curious for any of you that may know the correct answer.  I live in midtown, at 26th Street South and Yale.  Does my tap water come from the Mohawk plant, the Jewel plant, or a mix?  No complaints from me, as my Tulsa tap water is mighty tasty and great to me.  Just curious as to the source.

[RecycleMichael]

Your water comes from Mohawk

It's from the movie Dr. Strangelove....
"In Ripper's office at Burpelson Air Force Base, Mandrake studies doodles on a notepad left on Ripper's desk - the jumble of words that filled Ripper's mind in his last few hours make the code's discovery difficult - P e a c e O n E a r t h and P u r i t y O f E s s e n c e form interlocking, crossword-like patterns. Arbitrarily, Mandrake whispers the letters: "O P E." They are twisted permutations of the recall code. "
