TAP.
Evian tastes gross to me, like some French guy took a dump in it.... I chuckle when I see someone insists on drinking it or Fiji Artesian water. -

Tap only. Why help pay the billion dollar corporations to brainwash society?
Bottled water is bad for the environment. How much oil is used to produce all those plastic bottles. Where are they going to bury all those billions of bottles that will not degrade for thousands of years. How much fuel is used to transport those bottles? Almost every municipal water supple is perfectly safe, despite the "scandal" in the news. Don't buy into the hype. -

I dont spend the money on bottled water. Who is to say that it isnt jsut fresh from a tap? I will just stick with the tap water.
Timmayy!
Bottled water from one of those so-called springs could be coming from a place far worse than just the tap. Perhaps even a garbage dump.
I play it safe and put the tap water into one of those filtered pitchers....i.e. Brita. At least it gets rid of impurities such as chlorine, lead, copper, mercury, and micro-organisms including giardia.
I know this is going off the topic, but I have friends that pass the cheapest handle of vodka through a Brita filter four times. They say after filtration
they can no longer distinguish it from the top-shelf stuff. -

Mixed, bottled Spring Water, from Kentwood for drinking, making coffee, etc. Disani, and filtered tap sold in bottles isn't for me, just bottled actual spring water. Generally, tap for cooking, and of course, bathing. We've got a great water purification plant for New Orleans, but considering all the literal crap and other additives from our neighbors to the North let loose into the River
, the purified Mississippi River water still makes me nervous.

You can definitely blame Chicago for that. Cook, Lake and DuPage counties pump out trillions of gallons of water per day to the suburbs but it is NOT returned to the Lake Michigan watershed, but instead dumped into tributaries of the Mississippi. As a result, Lake Michigan as a whole, has dropped 18 vertical inches in the last few years. (Ok, off my soap box) -

The ground water in sw florida is pretty nasty... strong sulfer smell, and a bad taste... We have a reverse-osmosis system for the house, and a 500 gal water holding tank... I hate watering the lawn cuz of the smell

Did any of you guys see this story which was all over the news today?
http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080310/tap-water-prescription-drugs.htm
That sounds like the bottled water companies doing a little funding of an "AP" investigation to combat all of the positive press that tap water is getting.
Even if it is a legitimate investigation, water contains many natural minerals which are also the base products for many pharmaceutical products, so it doesn't shock me that some traces of various pharmaceuticals show up.
Before I get too worried about it, I'd like the investigation to move further into how these drugs actually got into the water.
I think it's most likely in the bottled water as well, since they've said that there is no practical way to remove it. -

I used the Britita water filters for a long time. They work great(or at least seem to)

The natural spring that I am talking about actually comes out of this rock along side a country road just outside of town. It is tested twice ayear and never have they had any bad reports come back on it. People go there all the time to get water. It especially great in the summer because ifyou are out driving around in the country and you come upon it...always have a cup handy because oohhhh its so cold. I feel confident that it is safe.I dont spend the money on bottled water. Who is to say that it isnt jsut fresh from a tap? I will just stick with the tap water.
