Answer:
It depends on where you are. Probably filtered. Corrie
I
think the questions begs the geo-political question from a conspiracy theorist.
Recently on some news show probably ridden with special interest motive, I saw a
study of water contents and taste comparing city and bottled waters. I
believe they started with over 300. Who ended up winning? L.A. City
water. Thus, if the taps origins are of a socially responsible
municipality I am fine with the tap. ( I am not sure about L.A.) So I say,
it depends! Dave
Seriously
Josh?? After all these months, this is the pressing question that you came
up with? I am disappointed, not a very stimulating summer, huh? Okay
that was a bit harsh; the answer is just so obvious though. Filtered
water is where it’s at, dogg. for shizzle. Tap water tastes
craptaculicious and I never drink it. But I would like to share one tidbit
that I learned recently. I for one do not like cold water, however if you
are using a Brita filter (separate from a faucet), it is necessary to store it
in the refrigerator to prevent rapid growth of bacteria. Apparently there
was a study done that tested bacteria in tap, Brita, and Pur water filters.
The Brita and Pur filtered water grew bacteria 100 times faster than tap
water when left sitting out. So,
one is supposed to store the filtered water in the refrigerator.
I would like to believe that the bacteria that the filtered water grows
when left out is less harmful than the bacteria present in tap water.
Anyway, regardless of the bacteria, filtered water tastes WAY better than
tap water.

I
don't give a crap about filtered or unfiltered water. I just like it
really cold with a nice amount of ice cubes. It does give me a strange
thrill to drink filtered water, but honestly, I can't tell the difference.
Plus I hate re-filling those damn Britas. -- Maggie
I
would have to say that it really matters where you live. Squaw Valley has
absolutely the best tasting tap water in the World, better than most filtered
water. But, you move to Fresno and I would say a filter is a must-have.
Of course, you will also need to keep in mind 7-up's new commercial on TV now.
I saw it last night and it depicted a bear taking a very noisy sqaut in a
mountain spring. So, ultimately I think water should be out-lawed and we
all sell out and start drinking 7-up. Any takers? Jeremy
Tap
at home and work. BOTTLE at any function that I have no idea what is in
the water. Carrie
I
really, really don’t care...which means tap water is fine by me…
Unless it tastes bad. Then I
buy bottled. Josh
