Tap water purity standards are set by the Environmental Protection Agency. Bottled water purity standards are set by the Food and Drug Administration. The standards set by the EPA are higher than those set by the FDA, so tap water that meets minimum standards is both cleaner and healthier than bottled water that meets minimum standards. I'd be willing to bet any bottled water drinkers that they could not distinguish between premium bottled water, cheapo bottled water, regular tap water and filtered tap water in a blind taste test. $10,000 to me if you fail to indentify which is which, $10,000 to you if you succeed. Any takers? Enough morons with more money than brains and I can retire.

I probably could, but then I am a water connisseur. I can tell the difference between Evian, Deer Park, and Dasani, although I wouldn't wager 10k on it. OTOH, tasting the difference between tap, Brita, and bottled is pretty easy, but you need a whole bottle, not a small sample.

Come and drink the water here. It's very, very nasty.

I can tell, trust me.

I have a filter on my tap water. Hopefully I'm drinking water that's as good as bottled.

We have well water but I still don't drink it unless I have to.

The tap water here is yellow and smells like sulfur. So no, I don't drink it.

Bottled or purified/filtered for me, I know I'm weird.

Actually, who has the best water is purely subjective.

I've heard plenty of people (my relatives) say that Memphis has the best tap water in the U.S.

Google alone shows 5 different sources claiming to have the best tap water in the U.S.

Hmm... didn't realize the bragging rights were so important 😛

Apparently it's so pure right now that they don't even have filter it, and no chemicals are added. It's nice. Would be cheap too but our city government is both corrupt AND inept. :|

I used to work for a water works department. If you knew what they put in water and what came out of it, you wouldn't drink any water what so ever. Everyone knows about chlorine and floride (this is actually a powder,) but did you know that copper sulfate (a blue crystalline substance) and lime are used to help process the water. I don't drink any water unless I absolutely have to.
