water

6 years ago
My next question is about water. Long ago when I first lived in Mexico it was in San Miguel de Allende--back before Forbes magazine declared it a number one investment spot, before the electrical lines were buried and it was an declared a historical land mark, when it was a quiet artsy community.

I came to SMA to live with a family and study Spanish. I felt like I literally spent my first two weeks in Mexico in the bathroom. I kept ending up back there too-- that is until Jeancarlo saved me. Jeancarlo was like the town information specialist. He had a restaurant just a half block from the Jardín where he sold sourdough bagels and provided priceless information to Mexicans and extranjeros alike. Though talking to Jeancarlos I discovered that while I thought I was drinking bottled water where I lived, Jeancarlos said that a few brands, along with the one I was drinking, would re-fill their bottles with plain tap water if they ran out or to cut costs. Jeancarlo said I ought to order from a company called Jangjungs-- and once I followed his advice I got better right away.

That was two decades ago-- so I don't even know if Jangjungs still exists (if I have the name right)-- but I am sure there are good water companies out there and bad ones-- does anyone have a list of names of good water companies to share? Like the ones that use a combination of filtration of "RO, UV, and carbon," or the like? How do you get your water?

Thank you!!!
