The Great Indy H2O Debate: Can You Swallow That Faucet Fancy?
Living in Indianapolis, you've probably pondered this question at least once (especially after a night of Hoosier hospitality). Can you quench your thirst with that magical elixir spewing from your kitchen sink, or is it a one-way ticket to Flavortown (the not-so-great kind)?
Well, buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to dive headfirst (or should we say, mouthfirst?) into the thrilling world of Indianapolis tap water.
The Official Verdict: Safe to Sip, But Maybe Not a Pool Party
According to the fine folks at the Indianapolis Water Company and the EPA, our tap water meets all the safety standards. In other words, you won't sprout gills or grow a second head. That's the good news.
The not-so-great news? Indianapolis water can be a bit...well, enthusiastic about chlorine. Think of it as a bit too eager to please. This can leave your taste buds singing the blues (or maybe a funky disco song, depending on your perspective).
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
Fear not, fellow Indy dwellers! There are solutions!
- Embrace the Brita: A trusty water filter can be your knight in shining armor, removing that unwanted chlorine flavor.
- Channel your inner mixologist: Add a splash of fruit juice or a squeeze of citrus to jazz up your tap water.
- Develop a taste for the "unique": Maybe with time, that chlorine tang will become your signature acquired taste. (Just kidding...mostly.)
But what if you're feeling fancy and want the real deal?
Hey, no judgement here. Sometimes bottled water is the way to go. Just remember to recycle those bottles, my friend. We gotta keep Indy green (and chlorine-free, if that's your thing).
