    *How Much Could You Save? Try the Bottled Water Calculator*

<http://www.newdream.org/water/calculator.php>On average, tap water costs
U.S. taxpayers 0.2 cents per gallon – which is roughly* 750-2,700 times
cheaper* than bottled water on a per gallon basis, according to the
Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA has also found most of this water
to be very safe. Over 90 percent of U.S. municipal water systems regularly
meet or exceed the EPA's regulatory and monitoring requirements.

Why are you breaking your budget when you can break the bottled water habit?

Use our bottled water calculator
<http://www.newdream.org/water/calculator.php>to help you compute the
financial and environmental impact of your bottled water consumption.
