I don't
If you look at the regulations governing the city water supply, they are much more strict as opposed to what the bottling companies have to comply with. However depending on the cities envioronment and your own dwellings water supply system it can vary a lot.
eg NYC has one of the best city water in the US but the old buildings have rusted iron pipes or dirty overhead tanks which makes that water nasty. But if you go a little bit North from NYC you will find tap water there to be the best and full of natural minerals. The city water supply takes all the harmful bacteria and agents out of it

It depends, some tap water tastes awful. Here in Texas, the closer to the border you get, the worst the tap water tastes. Some places have tap water that tastes just like bottled water though..

Despite the babbling brooks and mountain streams on the labels, just about all popular brands of bottled water are municipal tap water that has been filtered some more to remove certain amounts of chlorine, fluoride, minerals, etc. By the time it gets to you, it costs more than gasoline. Absolutely nothing wrong with tap water.

I think it's partly an acquired taste. I use to drink mostly tap water and it tasted fine. Bottled water didn't taste good to me. Now I drink mostly bottled water. Whenever I drink out of the tap it tastes funny to me.

I'm not a fan of water personally, but if I have to choose I pick the bottled H2O. When I was pregnant I had to drink the stuff so I bought Crystal Light to dump in it. Made it taste much better.

Yes I do...
bottled water hasn't been filtered through people at least 7 times, and the bottled water companies are not trying to poison you by adding fluoride which the other water companies say is needed because mummy's little darlings eat too many sweets, and drink too much coke, and then don't bother to clean their little teggies....thus ending up with rotten teeth and gaping holes in their mouths...

It depends on the bottled water. To me spring water taste thick and nasty. I prefer distilled and enhanced with trace minerals. Our tap water smells like sulfur sometimes so I opt out of drinking it altogether.

I do, because some bottled water is meneral enhanced. Aslo, tap water soemtimes tens to have a "metal" kind of taste.
