    I buy bottled water occaisonally and re fill the bottles with rainwater to take to work.

    I grew up on sulfur well water in southwest Florida, drinking from the hose when outside. I still love that water and it quenches my thirst like nothing else can. But now I no longer live there and have municipal water, which I drink sometimes. I mostly drink filtered or bottled water. But I still long for lukewarm sulfur well water......

    I drink tap water, unless it's softened. To me, softened water doesn't taste clean at all (more like garbage water). If I make tea at my mom's, I use bottled water.

    We drink tap water out of the kitchen faucet. Our city sends out annual water reports and it's always fine. For my $75 a month water bill it better be! We also replaced all the piping in our house last year so that probably improved things as well.

    I like Toronto municipal water...

    That being said, when I used to travel for work I often found the water in NY or FLA tasted like crap to the point I couldn't drink it.

    Zero. I drink tap water and home and at work.

    Honestly, I'll drink from anywhere. My favorite spot - the toilet, late at night.

    I mostly drink my tap water, in my area it tastes good and isn't hard. At work I think the water might be filtered but I'm not sure. If I'm in a place with gross water, IE Florida, I use a water bottle with filter builtin.

    Filtered tap water in our house. We live in suburban Denver.

    Unless you're in Flint or a third world country, I can't see it mattering enough to freak out about..I use filters and call it a day.

    Actually there are a lot of places in the US that have unsafe drinking water. I lived in a place where an old dump from the 50s and 60s contaminated the ground water making a whole community's water undrinkable. I lived in town so it didn't affect me but it's worth a thought.

    I've always lived in a municipality with treated water. Though, Flint had treated water but the most governments don't have such ridiculous oversight.
