A TASTE test has revealed that nearly 70 per cent of people in Nottingham prefer water from the tap rather than the bottle.
Staff from Severn Trent Water carried out the taste test as they asked shoppers at the Victoria Centre for their views on how money should be invested in the company in the future.
Nearly 70 per cent of people said they preferred the tap water, or couldn't tell the difference between the two drinks they were offered.
Rob Salmon, of Severn Trent Water, said: "We're really pleased with this result as we pride ourselves on providing all of our customers with high quality drinking water."
Severn Trent Water was also gathering customers' views on everything from water quality and leakage, to sewer flooding and protecting rivers.
The opinions given will help shape the company's next business plan for 2015-2020, which will outline the future of Severn Trent's water and waste water services and will affect the amount customers, will pay and what kind of service they'll receive.
Customers in Nottingham can still help have their say on the plan by visiting www.stwater.co.uk/letstalkwater.
