Our water is filtered here because of chemical spills and IIRC it is one
of the few communities in this area without fluoridated water. We use a
fluoride toothpaste to compensate. I saw there was an issue with
re-filling individual water bottles as in those you buy in the store
then re-use. Something about not being able to get them clean. We do
it anyway because it's cheaper than buying more bottles and less to go
into the recycle bin.
