Do you drink tap water?

[walterismydog]

I do. Denver has the best water. 

When I go home (S. Texas), though, I have to drink bottled. Not even a Brita will get through that nasty taste.

This brought to you by the guest I had in my home the other day judging me for drinking tap water. GET BENT. See if I ever invite you over for pie again. 

[rupertpenny]

Yes. I am too lazy to filter.

[Deleted]

always.

So from Dec - March we do.

For some reason, the warm-weather months makes our water much more chlorine-y. It's bothersome.  ETA so then we filter, we don't buy water.

[Deleted]

No. But I'm not judgmental about it, it's more out of habit than anything else.

I also live in Denver, but I work in historic buildings with old pipes and the water is brown. But everywhere else I drink the water.
I also have a dog named Walter.

And I like pie

You need to come to one of our Denver GTGs. We are a spirited group. LOL

You can eat pie at my cottage if you promise not to judge my water choices.

[Muddled]

Straight out of the faucet.

[sewf]

Yup. We have a filter thing on the faucet, but it needs a new filter... and has for months. I have always had tap water, and haven't seen any ill effects from it yet.

And I agree, Colorado water is really good (ILs live in Castle Rock). Florida water didn't taste good, but maybe it was because I wasn't used to it.

[kaybee85]

No, the water here is meh. My husband got me hooked on the pur filter. We have one of those really big containers...not a pitcher that runs out of water quickly

[Deleted]

No.

[goaskalice]

Hell yes. Oregon has the best water too.

Home in CA I can't even drink from the filtered fridge, it tastes disgusting to me.

[mrsgoontz]

During the day at work I drink tap water on ice but when I'm at home I drink filtered water from my fridge.

[Jalapeñomel]

No, but it could kill me here. ok, not literally, but it´s really bad for you.

[luckyval]

Yes and I totally notice a difference when we visit my ILs

I could never live at the beach - I would waste half of my income on bottled water

Hiiiiii!!!

[midnightrae]

I use it for cooking/baking, but I won't drink it because I prefer my water ice cold.

[amberlyrose]

At our current place, yes.
I didn't care for the water at our last apartment unless it was really cold.
I hate Texas water- it tastes slimy to me.

[walterismydog]

for those who prefer it cold:

[papie]

Yes but most of the time I use a Brita.

I also enjoy cottages

[TemperanceBrennan]

We have a filter pitcher that we use. I think our tap water tastes chlorine-y. If I make lemonade or something like that, I just use water from the faucet. At my grandparents I drink it from the faucet.

If I have to I will. But we buy the jugs of water (I can't stand a million plastic bottles in my recycling bin!). The water here is na-sty. All of our faucets have to be changed ~1/year because of the build-up that accumulates.

My university (same city I currently live in) has white water. Everyone knows it; and knows not to drink out of the faucets. I don't know what it is, but the water comes out of the faucet cloudy-white. It eventually dissipates, but EW.

ETA: TOTALLY agree that the water in Denver and Portland is awesome.

Also, my H is a water snob.  He even has brand preferences for his bottled water.  I think they all taste... like water.  But I agree that our tap water tastes like dirt. 

[rex]

No because our water is awful.

When I am at my dad's house I always drink the tap water. It is so good.

[Deleted]

In San Jose, I use a Brita. Even the animals get Brita water. In Michigan, we had amazing well water and I always drank from the tap.
