It is better for the environment, of course. No discarded bottles.
There was a recent story about hormones being in our tap water here in Philadelphia b/c the filtration plant cannot (or will not) filter it out of urine. I figure a few extra hormones here and there won't hurt me. They call it "Schuylkill Punch" and it has a distinct flavor. I found that NYC water is less flavorful. I live two blocks from our water filtration plant and the grassy lot that surrounds it is used as a dog park.
I like it.

I use a Brita filter. Not sure how much it actually helps, but my throat doesn't feel dry after drinking filtered water.

We have a Brita in the house, but I rarely use it, myself. Kind of a pain ********** and water filtered through the Brita tastes kinda off. I was surprised at the high quality of NYC tap water, not sure that was clear in my last post.

I drink from the tap at home with no reservations.
At work, our tap water tastes awful, so I drink from the cooler. No one I know at the office drinks office tap water, even the hard core environmentalists. Not really sure what it is, as I think it's the same water as at home.
I guess that's a qualified "yes" vote.

Atlanta. I drink tap water, but I strongly prefer it through the Brita.
I really like Publix branded spring water, though I'm told that the taste is from the plastic in the bottle.
