美国东北部大学城Amherst（ MA）饮用水质量报告

美国的饮用水（Drinking Water, Tap Water）在不同地域是有差异的。有些地方的饮用水很不好喝。新英格兰地区的饮用水还是不错的。

位于波士顿以西大约2个小时车程的Amherst（ MA）小镇是一个大学城，它是UMASS Amherst, Amherst College & Hampshire College三所大学的所在地。离Amherst（ MA）小镇不远，还有两所大学---在新英格兰地区很有名的女子文理学院：Smith College & Mount Holyoke College。这5所大学形成了一个大学联盟。我喜欢这里的水，也喜欢这里的人文环境。
