Seattle. Yes, I drink it all the time. It tastes fine.

Went to Chicago for a cousin's wedding, and the tap water there didn't taste quite as good. Could be that I'm just not used to it though.

Yes, there are tons of people who do this for some reason. No, I'm not that wasteful.

petaluma CA, I drink tap, but it's filtered well water. Tastes fine.

Littleton CO. Im sure its riddled with shitty minerals and xenoestrogens like any other processed tap water but its crystal clear and tastes alright. Close proximity to the mountains and the colorado river doesnt hurt.

I've heard from countless people that NYC has the best tap water in the country.
I've also heard never to drink the tap water in LA.

>>9225754
I assume the midwest has the best water in the country and the south has the worst (besides California)?

I have a well with excellent tasting water so I drink that. I fill bottles and take it with me when I travel or go out for a while.

Yes, because I don't live in a 3rd world country.
Though, under Drumpf, we are becoming one.,

Tampa here, I drink filtered tap water. Straight from the tap it is a little too chlorinated.

>>9225764

I have lived in CA for my entire life, all over the damn place.

I have always drank tap water and I have found that as long as it is cold, it is palatable.

Better as iced tea though.

The water used to come from the lakes, it was always really refreshing and ice cold.

Now I live in NC and the water here is shite. Takes chlorinated, one week it was particularly bad and I found out because they had a line break and so they upped the chlorination as a precaution. It's fucking gross, and always lukewarm. And I've lived in more than three locations down here.

I live in the outskirts of Houston.

The tap water is largely fine. I drink it regularly.

However, I primarily drink bottle water because of the convenience of instantly having a perfectly cold bottle of water, and it tastes a bit better.

I get the 35 pack cases of Great Value bottled water, which is just rebranded Niagara (my favorite brand), for $3.50 at Walmart. I got through 1-2 cases a week and I'm fine paying the small amount of money for basically convenience.

It's a necessity at work, though, as the tap water tastes like straight pool water. I don't know how they fucked it up, but it reeks of chlorine, even more so if it's at any temperature warmer than 35 degrees fahrenheit .

My mother lives in downtown Chicago (the nicer part of town, too), and the tap water is straight undrinkable to me. Everytime I go visit her, I stop by the Mariano's and pick up a couple gallon jugs of their equivalent of Ozarka (think it's Arrowhead).

>>9228230

NYC has some of the best water in the country since they pipe it in from an upstate reservoir. I'm on a well in a flyover area and my water is phenomenal but when I've travelled to NYC, their water is almost as good. Oth, I've been in countless flyover areas where the city water was undrinkable due to the myriad chemicals added.

Why do people with bad water not just install a simple filter instead of paying for overpriced bottled water over and over again?

>>9228320
Immediate price point. You can't put a $75 filtet on layaway but you can buy 20 bottles for $5 immediately

Utah here. I've seen towns near me get their whole water system infected with E. Coli and the city had to advise people to boil water.

San Diego here, I always buy bottled at Trader Joe's (15 x 1.5 L boxes) because it tastes better and is relatively cheap. I don't use a tap filter because I like to put bottles in the fridge for instant cold water later

Why would you willingly expose yourself to fluoridated water? Even with the commonly accepted side effects of fluoride the safety margin for fluoride is razor thin. The evidence for neurotoxicity in early childhood meanwhile is stacking up.

PS. the slim safety margin and neurotoxicity remind me of Paracetamol/Tylenol, another poison we can't seem to get rid of. You'd almost think it's a conspiracy.

Harrisburg, PA. I use a Pur filter on mine.

It's true. The only possible way to drink it is to gulp down as much as possible before tasting it. It can make you gag

tap water by state is too broad a topic. non-city NY is different from NY itself. overall, NYC tap is pretty fucking fine. it has a slight bare taste to it but I'm cool.

philly tap is fucking disgusting though, and some suburbs north of the city have water that tastes like shit (until you get to the point where there aren't generally public water sources and everyone uses well water, which is generally great).

Albany, GA....in the country out here we drink from wells, and it tastes AMAZING! You cannot go back to city chlorinated trash after you taste pure water straight from an aquifer.

Fluoridation in the USA has rendered the tap water in most major cities toxic waste.

I avoid it by bathing in spring water(2 gallons). Works great!

I used to have acne, headaches, numbness in my limbs, exc.... But those symptoms went away when I stopped coming into contact with the tap water.

Big BIG noticeable difference.

St. Louis, MO. We have fantastic tap water. I've never been to a city with better tap water, coastal or flyover. Some about equal (though most worse, downright undrinkable at times), but nothing that beats it straight out of the tap.

I will say I think the water in Colorado Springs *could* have beaten it if they didn't chlorinate it so fucking much.

Brainerd Minnesota
We don't chlorinate our water, shit is so cash. All you gotta do is chill it and it's better than 90% of bottled waters.

I can't drink tap water in any other state i've visited. Even when I lived in Portland Oregon for a while I couldn't stand the tapwater.
