I ran out of bottled water and i drink 8 glasses of water everyday and tap water is gross. Do you think its okay to drink even though it tastes gross? It could be me cause im used to drinking bottled.

I personally wouldn't drink it. I would find away to get some more bottled water. Get little bottles from the store until your big bottles get there and then tell the delivery people that you think you may need an extra bottle each month.

I never quite understood the bottled water thing. The water in bottled water is from the same sources as the water from the tap. It's just expensive, and a serious harm to the enviornment (because of plastic bottles, and trucks to transport the water from bottling plant to a store).
The water in any US tap is fresh and clean, unlike bottled water, which may have been stagnant in that bottle for months or years. If tap water bugs you, leave it out overnight before drinking, so the chlorine evaporates out of the water. After that, chill before drinking.

I am sure your on a city water system and it has to meet very strong requirements by the Government. While most of the city water has a slight chlorine taste, and is considered hard water, it is ever bit as good as bottled water.
I put in charcoal filters in my tap to filter out the chlorine taste and now, save a bunch of money from buying bottle water. Most bottle water is city water that is triple filtered and ozonated before being bottled.

Try this out. Fill a pitcher full of your tap water and let it sit through the night allowing any gases to evaporate. They put chlorine and fluorine in the water to cleanse it but if allowed the time these may just evaporate. Then fill your bottles and see if there is a significant difference in the taste. Or get a Britta and it will do it in seconds.

Tap water has to meet certain standards unless it is well water. So it is safe but if you are used to drinking bottles water then tap can taste gross.

We put trust in our local municipalities to make sure our drinking tap water is healthy and free of harmful chemicals. Every town/county/city is different. Some have better quality tap water than others. Overall, unless you live next to a nuclear power plant, I'm sure your tap water is safe. If not, you would notice your neighbors and co-workers growing extra limbs....

If used drinking bottle water then tap will taste funny. Because bottle water is spring water. But if you sterlize tap water then put it frig, it taste better.

Aquafina replaced into basically compelled via the courtroom to record the source of that is wonderful bottled water as what it actually is faucet WATER!!! if the water doesnt get shipped out of state, i do not imagine that is below the scrutiny of FDA checking out both. maximum bottled water comes instantly out of a faucet on the bottling plant with little or no extra clinical care. Why do you imagine that is a 6 billion dollar a year agency?
