Where I am now I can drink my tap water but when I had to live with my uncle a couple of years ago I could not drink the tap water. You couldn’t even brush your teeth with it.

about once a year the lake “turns” and the water is fishy smelling so we drink bottled water a couple weeks… otherwise we refrigerate our tap water…it’s good.

No its all chalky here. Comes off the hills to the north, and knackers your kettle with limescale,

I use a brita filter jug.

Our tap water is clean enough, but it tastes really bad. We use it when cooking, but when drinking water, we have a water dispenser that holds a 5 gallon jug of purified water.

In some of those places where they have been fracking for natural gas the nearby tap water can be ignited with fire as it comes out.

Yeah, I use purified water in my Keurig coffee maker, to prevent mineral buildup.

I put tap water in beakers and put in fridge I’d rather have bottle water but that’s expensive

In our first apartment when we first moved to this city in 2013 the tap water smelled bad and tasted bad. My dad had a water filter then we got Culligan water.

Our water tastes like chlorine and bleach. So no go.

Our tap water tastes awful, city water :sob: but technically it is safe to drink. I just use a Brita filter pitcher to filer the water and it tastes much better!

I could drink our water, but I’m not going to because I’m a pretty little princess and I like spring water. I pay for it to be delivered so that I will drink enough water.

It’s usually safe here. But sometimes the water gets contaminated. Currently there is a E.Coli contamination in another part of my city. I can still drink my water though since it comes from a different source. Also many years ago I remember we had giardia parasites in the water. Many hundred people got very sick before authorities discovered it.

We really shouldn’t drink our tap water.
It’s not the safest.
Although there’s no warnings not to.

We use filtered water from our fridge
