Tap, I generally don't like the taste of bottle water. Although, my palette probably isn't sensitive enough to tell the difference anyway.

Edinburgh has some of the best tap water in the U.K.I just make sure it's cold.

My well water + a Brita pitcher = heaven. It's really, really good stuff.

How can someone have voted "I don't know"?

Is it because they've never asked their butler where the water he serves them comes from?

Yep -- from my well at 400'. It's nice and cold if you're pulling from the well itself. Get it tested six ways to Sunday every five months to keep track of it.

Best tap water I've ever had was in Hiroshima Japan of all places. Maybe it's still radioactive but no matter - was clear, crisp and damn swell.

I think they should bottle it. I'm sure it would be a huge novelty hit.
A real bang for the buck.
They could run an advertising campaign that even if some consider distasteful, would be incredibly successful.
Promote it as "Hiroshima H20 - It's the bomb". Portion of proceeds to the Hiroshima memorial.

I'd certainly buy it by the case.

Tap water in San Diego is terrible... I'll put it in coffee or something but never drink it straight, has to be filtered. When I was in DC there were reports of numerous pharmaceutical drugs in the tap water....

Whenever I go to Europe, specifically Italy, the tap water tastes better than bottled water here and my complexion always improves.

It's possible that even small amounts of radioactivity may render one's complexion luminescent?
That might be why the Japanese are so photogenic.

I would imagine Italian tap water to be chock-full of protein from cheese run-off. That would certainly assist in a healthy complexion.

I drink Brita or Pur filtered water mostly. I've had some awful tap water and some good. Here it's generally good but it differs city to city. In Savannah I remember it had a very distinct metal flavor. That was when I bought my first Brita. It really does work filtering out the bad taste.

We do have some bottled water around the house mostly for quick grabs when going on a hike, playing tennis or whatnot and not wanting to get the water bottles out.

Voss bottled water is nice when chilled and the bottle design is nice and clean, but as a rule, I drink tap water because I like the taste of chemicals and fluoride.

I still have a few bottles kicking around of something outrageously expensive - perhaps as a novelty but nevertheless very good, called "Bling H20"...
From the Dandridge mountains of Tennessee, and bottled in Beverly Hills, the bottle is hand-blown glass, and the trade name embellished with genuine Swarovski crystals. It retails for about $100.00 a bottle.

Quite tasty, if in for a pretentious show of neutral spirit.

There was a research in newspaper lately about tap water and bottled waters. Consensus was that the bottled water has lower quality than the tap water in here.
