Are you picky about drinking tap water? Growing up, my family was always a “drink the tap water” type. I never did. I hate the way it tastes and I don’t know how the water quality is. I always either drink bottled water or I run it through my filtered water pitcher.
 
In India, tap water is never used directly for drinking. It has to always go through a water purifier to become drinkable.
 
Although the tap water in most areas in the UK is usually drinkable it tastes pretty vile and as I drink a lot of water I get it delivered in glass bottles.
 
I grew up with water that came from Lake Michigan and heavily filtered and then run through to our town. It had such a strong bleach taste that I didn't like water.

Where we live now, we have a well and the water tastes so amazing!! I prefer it over bottled water that tends to taste stale to me.
 
For our caravan we have a filter jug as the water connects to a hose so that really doesn't taste nice without being filtered.

Inside the home we drink water but not often.
 
I have one of those little tap things on my fridge, so I prefer it chilled rather than straight from the tap. I'll drink it from the tap if I really have to, but prefer it refrigerated at a cool temperture.

Do you mean the ones that also do ice? My fridge has that too but it’s so old and a rental property, I don’t trust it. 😛
 
I am super picky about drinking tap water. There is so much crap in it that is unhealthy and all the boil advisories turn me away from it. I will drink it if it is filtered, but typically we buy bottled water.
 
Most (not all) bottled water in the US is just bottled tap water.

Read the label. It’ll tell you where it was bottled. I don’t think smart water is rebranded tap water.

I hope not. I really only drink smart water. When we go hunting I’ll take a few Aquafina only because my husband gets cases from his work. That one does taste like tap water. 🤣
 
My city has very clean tap water and yes I drink it. Filtered water tastes vile and is a 50000x price markup so lol no thanks.
