My aunt live in Mexico for over 35 years and she and all her friends were totally convinced bottles are just filled from the tap. With our own UV there is no question about the purity of the water. Not to mention that bottled water has been an environmental no no for a very long time now.
One can say this about many areas. I knew of a water bottling company in Canada that did these things, for a very short time, in years gone by, and probably no one suffered. It is not easy to overcome regular city water's smell and taste. But I am not convinced this is widespread in Mexico, although I never have a drink in a bar, with ice cubs. I have handled hundeds of garafons and have never once seen debris in the water. If that ever happens and is reported, some people are losing a job that is highly valued. As for plastic water bottles being a no no, remember we are talking about containers that are reused countless times, not throw away, half litre drinks of water.
