We have less water today than we did 100 years ago.
No, It is only a myth. There are probably the same amount of water as before we did 100 years ago. It is because the water never dissapears. For instance, if the water evaporates it comes back by precipitation. Also if you drink water, water comes back out by your pee, sweat.
Bottled water is safer than tap water.
First I thought it was true because they actually cost a lot more money but they are the same. They just sell bottled water because it is easier to carry it. Like, Mr. Hughes said the bottled water are about 10times expensive than normal tap water.
If lead is in your water, it’s the treatment plant’s fault.
Actually it is could be the treatment plant's fault but it is usually the pipes which makes the lead go in your water. On the way from the treatment plant to your home if your pipes aren't well cleaned or broken other substance can go in your water which makes water dirty. For example, if your pipe has a hole in it on the way dirts or other insects can go in your water.

Jae, you've done a fine job busting these myths. What I like especially is you've used your own words, not text copied from the worksheet. Keep doing this. We may want to look at #3. Lead usually comes from old pipes actually in the house that is getting the contaminated water.
