Fresh water? I don't know about you guys, but where I live, and most places I know of, the water is recycled through a water treatment plant. This is river water that is technically coming to us through our faucets - hardly Evian or glacier water here, so I don't have an issue with wasting "fresh" tap water. That doesn't necessarily mean that I waste water just because I can but I don't spit at people who leave the faucet on while brushing their teeth.
