PARENTS are being told that plain tap water is a much better option for their children than sugary drinks.
United Utilities is urging parents to help their children tap into a healthier lifestyle by sending them back to school this term with a bottle of water.
The company says children can enjoy a bottle of tap water every day of their life at primary school for the same price as just one can of the leading brands of pop.
