The first place I lived in Israel took their drinking water from a spring close to the one used by Mei Eden. I think it is the filtering through the basalt rock of the Golan that makes the water so crisp. Neviot is also good but other water just tastes of the plastic it is bottled in. I couldn't carry, and certainly couldn't afford, the bottles of water I need to drink as I get through 3-5 litres a day and my family are the same. Tap water is just fine for us.

My main concern is floride levels, and in some parts in Israel I've heard there isn't floride in the water - which is a shame, since it's great for the teeth. We have a top quality water filter, but recently I've switched to tap water again because the filter strips the water of many important minerals.

With the daily attacks the people there have to put up with, I wouldn't be surprised if someone did try to poison the water. But don't live there and if the people there think the water is safe enough to drink, then I guess if I ever got the chance to visit Israel, I shouldn't be too scared to drink, it too.
