Drinking local water in the Dominican Rep. is a heatlh hazard since it doesnt go through the same purification prosses as water from outside the country. Anyone from other country couldnt drink this water and the water can make you very sick. Although we are generally able to drink water without getting sick,it still can make a lot of problems in our stomach,the life expectancy here in Dom Rep is 50 or 60 years old, i was told that water problem was one of the many factors in the short average life in people. Even if you are sataying in a hotel or resort try to make a habit of brushing your teeth with bottle of water though we dont do that and avoid drinking water in the pool accidentlly because you can stay in bed for days because of this kind of water.
I think people in DR live until 60-80 according to the average not just because of tap water, you have to take into consideration the way we eat, we live,or what we drink. I agree that polluted water is a factor that can affect people in DR but no many people here die because of this, there are other reasons that cause the mortality rate.....
