In NL, the public water company pulls their water literally from the exact same springs as the expensive bottled waters (no joke). So our water is exactly the same.

Depends on who is "asking" as well, perhaps the rest does not need it at the moment?

Noise was pure poetry by pistons in the olden days. But I have to admit, the sound has not been an issue anymore for me. As long as they fix the TV directing I’ll be fine.
