With bottled water taking a beating in the news lately, I was wondering what you think about your tap water?

This depends alot on which part of the world you live. In alot of the parts in the world tap water isn't as safe as drinking water. But in places such as the USA the tap water has added nutrients such as flouride (which helps to improve teeth health) and potassium, whilst some bottled water has no addatives. People should read their bottle labels. In third world countries bottled water is a must and in some of these countries their bottled water is actually better tasting the the ones from eg France; and has the added nutrients.

I've lived all over the country and only drink tap water. Most bottled water is tap water. Even if it states that the source is a spring, that spring is a certain town's tap water.
You will get used to the taste of all water after a couple of days.
My friend tests tap water in Houston and stated that people are silly for buying bottled water since it's safe in the U.S.
Advertisers have really fooled the masses with bottled water.

OUR tap water is the best...comes out of our 440' deep well and is so good we take bottles of it along when we're traveling and want to make "in-room" coffee at a motel... forgot it one time and had chlorinated coffee which was really awful. Good clue: our yuppie son-in-law empties out his designer-water bottles when he visits and refills them with our well-water when he leaves. I have a hunch than when we Pass On to the Big Aquifer in the Sky, he may go into the bottled water business!

Im from the St Louis area and our water is rated as the best tasting water in America. So I think our tap tastes just fine.

We're very lucky that ours is! Often, bottled water IS just tap water - read those labels, and understand the terms.

My tap water is good but when I visit my parents or in-laws I prefer bottled water. Both their towns have weird tasing water!

I think tap water is better then bottled water. It has natural minerals and fluoride that are actually good for you.

I know for a fact it's better than bottled water. My dad is on the board of the water authority.
