Do you drink your city/town's tap water?

I am blessed to live in San Francisco. that gets its water from yosemite snowmelt. so the water is soft and even sold as bottle water and we just drink tap water. I grew up in seattle which also relies on snowmelt..

I do drink my tap water. I have seen the water quality reports and I have no qualms about it. it tastes good too. I fill up a water bottle when I leave the house too. I do not drink bottled water and I get pissed at the quantity of bottled water other people drink because I feel like not only are my state's natural resources being exploited for profit to fill those bottles but the bottles themselves are an environmental nightmare.

My first husband and I had a house with a well. The water tasted bad. We rented a water machine and had home delivery of those huge 10 gallon jugs. This was a win in my mind because the delivery man would come pick them up and the company would refill them. This was before bottled water was so proliferate. I think it cost us $25 a month. I wish everyone who didn't want to drink their tap water was forced to have water delivery of these refillable jugs and bottled water was illegal.

Yes, yes, I feel incredibly strongly about it. 😂

My town, or I should say parts of my town has really bad water (there's a FB page devoted to it and Erin Brockovich has commented on it), comes out of the tap brown. Where I am, I've never had brown water but I did install a whole house filter years ago (and before that had water delivered) because I was very concerned about what I couldn't see. I also have a life straw water dispenser in the fridge that I got once I went on immune suppressing drugs. Overkill? Probably but I'm fine with it.

I drink the tap water, no problem. Mine tastes fine.

When I took the 8th graders to DC, they were in their hotel rooms for the night. One of the girls asked if she could break curfew to buy some bottled water. I told her to drink it out of the tap. She was appalled.

Me too, I hate buying bottled water. We pay a deposit on plastic bottles here and return them to the supermarket for a refund, it's helping massively with getting people to recycle but I wish it wasn't necessary.

We drink our tap water but we're from the generation who drank out of the hose.

DH works with a lady who is 30 and has never had tap water.

We were under a boil water advisory for 48 hours recently. I boiled a lot of water. I told DH I felt like I should be wearing a bonnet.

Yes, I drink tap water. Many in the area do not. I tell after a storm, I can smell the chlorine.

lainey your water does not look so good, not even for laundry!!

I live Iin Seattle. Our tap water is lovely and soft, I personally don’t know anyone who uses a water delivery service or filters it.

Our area is known for having good tap water. We drink it, however we like our water really cold so we use a Brita pitcher in the fridge to make that happen.

I tried to when I first moved in but there is an overwhelming chemical smell when you run the water. Even when I shower in the morning you just smell chemicals. I bought a Pur pitcher and filter it then it's fine.

I am the only one in my house who drinks directly from the tap. I think it tastes fine, but the rest of my household says no. Water reports are fine, though it is a little hard.
I have friends who work for the local water district and they say our water does great in regional and nationwide competitions. I’m sure that info is in a pamphlet in my bill but I don’t usually read those.
I have a friend who has been in this country for 30 years (he’s from Syria), and just found out that people across the USA can drink tap. It’s wild that he never knew.

Yes. Tumwater, Washington. I guess we are known for our water in these parts - made great beer 😊. I’ve never had a reason not to trust it, and it always tastes fine to me.

Our water is safe to drink and I will drink it in a pinch, but I prefer the flavor of the water filtered through our fridge.

I generally only buy a couple of cases of bottled water as emergency supply at the beginning of hurricane season.
