Bottled water is one of the worst and most successful scams ever perpetrated on American consumers. Tap water, at least where I live, is rigorously tested for drinkability. Bottled water is not and I don’t trust corporations when it comes to safety. Manufacturing and disposing of the bottles is very environmentally destructive and much of the litter I see is empty water bottles. If your tap water tastes ‘funny’ it’s probably residual chlorine (used to disinfect the water) which will evaporate completely in a few seconds. Sorry about the rant, but I feel strongly about stupid stuff like bottled water.
