#ReThink BH Tap Tips
If you want to change your tap water because you want to improve the taste and reduce mineral content (water hardness) here are some recommendations:
-
Run your tapIf no one has used the tap for six hours or more, run the COLD water for two and a half minutes before drinking the water to ensure that you get fresh water. Make sure to grab a bucket and collect the running water to water your plants or for cleaning.
-
Chill your tap waterMany people prefer the taste of colder water. Fill a pitcher and place it in the refrigerator!
-
Filter your tapWhile not needed for BH tap water, drinking water filters can reduce any unwanted flavors. For help with choosing a water filter visit the State Water Resources Control Board.
