Its water thats contaminated and yet againg we have lots of cases of diahorrea errupting from the impure water consumption. Mineral water is very costly for common man to afford! Its the water purifier which is good but thats too a very costly issue. Its scorching heat and the supply of water is too low and made things miserable for people!

Hii friend, Yes we do boil our water. It is really important to boil water if you don't want to fall sick. As it is raining here, it is the time when most of the diseases are spread and we need to be extra careful with water and all. As they say Precaution is better than care.

No, we dont boil water for our drinking use. I am glad that in our place we can use the water directly from faucet and drink it. I know you can get some sick if you dont drink clean water like diarrhea so its really better to boil water. But again here in our place we dont boil water, but in other places here i know someone that boil water for their everyday consumption. Well, i dont disagree if you boil water thats thumbs up for me, prevention is better than cure right!?

Hi, I boil drinking water everyday! That's the only way for me to be very sure that it's safe to serve my family. I had a water purifier before, and one day it stopped working and I didn't realise it. Family members started to fall sick. Two days later I noticed that the water purifier is faulty. I didn't want to take such chance again, thus I boil the water myself. It's only a matter of few minutes!

Here in the United States we boil our water to cook. Other than that, we really don't have to worry about cleaning our water for consumption, well, most of us don't. Water here is not very expensive, unless you live in a desert like Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, etc. then it gets more pricey. To be a little more specific, about 3 times the cost here in Pennsylvania....and I only know this b/c I lived in Phoenix for 8 months.
