The bottled water market continues to grow at a crazy rate, but have you ever stopped to think about just how much more expensive bottled water is in comparison to the tap water variety? The answer is astonishing.

Considering the technology that is used to get the water out of the ground, put through different processes, and then bottled, it is no surprise that the bottled version is indeed far more expensive. In fact, it has been concluded that bottled water can be between 600 and 3,700 times more expensive by the gallon in comparison to tap water. Now, when you stop and think about that fact, then you need to start to question as to whether or not it is indeed worth all of that extra money.
