Everyone in town buys bottled water from the local grocery store. I went to the grocery one day and the owner showed me what they have to do to filter the water. He opened up the cabinet in the front of the store, in which there were 3 large filters inside. He also said there is a filter in the basement too. So that is four water filters that the tap water has to go through. He said it takes 4 gallons of water to make 1 gallon of drinking water, and yes, the price for the bottled water went up 30 more cents to 69 cents a gallon.
