LAS VEGAS (KSNV MyNews3) -- You'll be getting something from the Las Vegas Valley Water District in your mailbox soon: the annual report on your drinking water.

The stuff that comes out of your tap is safe, according to the district.

And while that's reassuring, many Las Vegans bypass Lake Mead's finest for what comes in a bottle. Should you? News 3’s Jerry Brown reports.

I bet at SNWA meetings and such they serve water straight from the tap no filtered or RO or softened water IMHO the tap water taste like it was passed through a "ripe" septic tank

Our water may be safe within the federal guidelines or for the water district policies but it tastes greasy, it smells horrible and it upsets my stomach when I drink it. If I had a product I was trying to sell to the general public like this I too would do everything in my power to make people believe it is safe for consumption. I have very little faith in the water district to do what is right for us because what is right for the general public doesn't make them enough of a profit. But a monopoly in bed with local government makes it easy for them and we get stinky water at a premium price.
