    The document discusses the costs and quality of bottled water compared to tap water. It notes that 64% of bottled water is actually tap water that is marked up over 2000 times in price. Another study found 93% of bottled water samples contained microplastics. Bottled water companies are not required to meet the same water quality standards as municipal tap water in the US. A table then shows the large costs of bottled water for a household over 25 years compared to using a water filter system.
