EARLY LOOK: Can you taste the difference?

Central Oregon’s drinking water has been known for its great quality for years but how good is it really?

NewsChannel 21’s Wanda Moore took an in-depth look into how our water is being tested on the High Desert. Tune in for her special report: “Water you drinking?” tonight on First at 10 on FOX.

Are you able to taste the difference between filtered water and water straight out of the tap? NewsChannel 21’s Alex Biston was not able to tell the difference during our Sunrise show this morning and officials with the city of Bend say there is no need to filter your water or buy bottled water.

Before you can drink it out of your tap, water is being disinfected and tested every week. What is it tested for and could something like what occurred in Flint, Michigan happen in Bend?

Tune in for the details at 10 p.m. on FOX.
