If you’re unsure what kind of water (well water or “city” water) you have in your home, ask yourself these questions:

Brace yourself for some cold facts: the water on Earth is finite. What we have is what we get! Plus, according to the World Atlas, there are approximately 360,000 births every day, so our water supply requires more care than ever.
