Water: Good for your body – and your pocketbook

Printer-friendlyPrinter-friendlyEmail to friendEmail to friend

RCAP says that tap water is:
  • Good: RCAP assists communities to provide clean, healthy water for their residents that is easy to obtain by simply turning on the faucet.
  • Good for you: It is the perfect hydrator for your body and is free of sugar, calories and preservatives. 
And now there’s reason to believe that water from the tap is good for your pocketbook: For example, if you are an average American, you drink more than one can of soda a day. Replacing that soda with a drink of water will save a family of four nearly $2,400 a year!
