Americans spend billions of dollars on bottled water. Unlike days gone by, we are afraid to drink water that comes from the ground. Why?

Americans are scared to drink from the ground because some people think that if you drink water from the ground it is going to be nasty and dirty because many people think any people are going to be sick and get diseases if they get water from the ground

We are afraid because it may contain dangerous minerals that could hurt and poison or spread a sickness to us. People perfer to spend more money to drink bottled water, which is assured safety.
