You don't need to waste your money on buying bottled water, but a high quality water filter is always a good idea these days. Even when you live in a city where the water treatment plants are good, there are often "hiccups" in the system that cause contamination, and you would never know when it occurs. Plus we just don't know the long-term effects of a lot of the stuff they put in the water to purify it. So best to get it out of there.

Fluoride is a deadly toxin. so is chlorine. Drink tap water at your own risk. I lost 70 pounds when I cut fluoride from my consumption. I drink only reverse osmosis filtered water now. I switched to an organic diet at the same time and am as a result eating less due to the quality of the food I am getting it has more nutrients and so therefore I am less hungry.
If your tap water contains fluoride then yes it will harm you.

In an area where the water goes through purification and chlorination tap water is fine to drink.

If residing in the Midwest or better yet the western side of Michigan,near Lake Michigan, than hell no. We have the best water in the nation. But it has been found that U.S. tap water is sometimes cleaner than bottled water which is not to well regulated.

It depends on where you live. Mosty.. if you have a well you're okay. If you live close to a dump or a cemetary.. then I would be a little leery. If you live in a city.. they chlorinate and chemicaly detoxify the water.. it won't kill you I suppose.. but it prolly doesn't taste very good..
Generally, tap water won't hurt you. But the chemicals and such can cause you to have bowel or stomach pains.

It depends on the quality of tap water that you are getting. a simple test. fill a clear glass with water, it should be clear and i mean CLEAR! next smell it. if it smells of chlorine(not pungent chlorine jus an aftersmell) its fine. next try a mouthful, but jus taste and throw it out. any funny taste, it is BAD!. finally, try a glass(300ml). if there is a metallic or bitter after taste(not salty) forget it
CLARITY IS KEY!

I won't drink it. I even buy my pets bottled water after I saw what the water was leaving in my pets water dish. I live in west Texas and there is WAY too much calcium and salt in our water =P.

Tap water is usually chlorinated and is almost germ free. So it is good for health.

It relies upon on the place you reside... If on your place you drink water from the kitchen faucet then it quite is large to drink from the washing room faucet because of the fact it quite is the comparable water. yet i might ask your water matinince guy or woman first.

Yeah, you'll die. Before there was bottled water, people died all the time because they drank tap water. Dumbass!
