We learned this week that Waterloo Region area has the highest bottled water use rate. StatCan’s The Daily, on Wednesday, reported so.

Among Canada’s largest cities, the highest rate of households drinking bottled water primarily was found in the Kitchener area (46%) and in St. Catharines–Niagara (41%).

That factoid came from the The Households and the Environment Survey for which over 28,000 households were surveyed by telephone in early 2006.
I wonder if the local preference for bottled water is cause by the source of our municipal tap water.
