I don’t trust my area’s tap water, nor home-filtered versions of it. Still use it, though, for tea, and for cooking. I even hesitate to soak in it in the bathtub. Just another source of postmodern, post-industrial anxiety, I suppose.
A refreshing concoction I enjoy in the summer almost as often as filtered tap water is seltzer or club soda with two splashes of Angostura, 1/8 tsp stevia, and a tablespoon or two of citrus juice.
That’s the best tap water. Nearly ice cold right out of the tap, even when it’s 90F outside.
The fountain outside my high school’s athletic fields tasted very strongly of rust. I didn’t much care for that. I don’t know if it was because it was a character building thing (jocks don’t need no pussified clean water) or if my school was broke as shit. Probably both.
(If this is the cool kids’ thread for fun and froody polls, can I just point out that there’s a very froody poll over here, too, just in case you haven’t, yet.
