Drinking water

Drinking water is the best thirst quencher. This calorie-free natural product is sourced locally, delivered directly to your home, and is affordable. Its extraction and distribution require very little energy. Therefore, those who quench their thirst with drinking water act environmentally conscious and save on household expenses. Until now, there has been a guide on the topic of "drinking water" missing in Switzerland. This publication now fills that gap.

The current guide begins by making the invisible visible. It briefly describes the journey of drinking water – from the source to your tap.

In the main section, the publication addresses central consumer questions in detail: Where does my drinking water come from? Is my tap water of high quality? What does drinking water cost? Are there hormone-active substances in drinking water? What measures can I, as a consumer, take to protect this vital resource, and how can I use this precious liquid as ecologically as possible? What should I do in the event of water damage? What legal requirements must be observed? Who is responsible for the home installation? Where can I find out how hard my water is?

Additionally, the guide discusses the differences between mineral water and drinking water, demonstrating that tap water is just as good as bottled water.
