The best water I had was when I was a kid and I think it came from wells 
in that part of the world.  I used to look forward to my first taste of 
home water after being away on holiday.

The best cups of tea I had were made from untreated water from a spring 
on a hillside.  The water authorities spent most of their time trying to 
get us to switch to their water, using health as an excuse.  The real 
truth was that the water charges were linked to property values in the 
system the privatised water companies inherited from the local 
authorities, and they stood to make a healthy profit out of replacing our 
own supplies.  Maintaining your own pump and filter system wasn't nearly 
as expensive as a bill based on the value of your property.
