Tap water is fine, I use it to make coffee, make Crystal Light, and drink it straight. It's better if chilled, but usually, I don't have the time.

It's about the only thing I drink. That and skim milk, and a fair bit of wine

Tap water here was fine. They just got the new water tower running so now I let the stuff off gas in the fridge overnight.

Sink water?

Yep But seeing as I help treat 55MGD, I know it's good  600 MGD plus a second plant at 300 MGD is the most I have ever treated at the same time running both in tandem. (900MGD) Sole operator running the treatment system. Dang - we are rated for 100 MGD which isn't too shabby around here (biggest is ~120-150 MGD surface water treatment plant). 600 MGD is huge. Props to you guys. Would love to see something like that

My tap water comes from my pond. My pond water is rain water that goes through a rather expensive filtration system and taste better than most any bottled water but yet my wife will not drink it and the mere mention of it she will get pissy but yet she will drink bottled water from an unknown source all day long.

Not from the sink. It tastes like crap. Our fridge filters it and it tastes good so I drink that.
In southern Oregon, where I'm originally from, the water right out of the sink or hose was great. Some of the cleanest water in the country from the Big Butte Springs watershed. Not so much down here.

I drink well water at home. Water bottles on the go from the cooler, usually the cheapest brand I can find, which oddly enough usually taste best.
I do drink tea at most restaurants, which of course use tap water. |

Well water from the country side, yes.
Has no sulfur, metallic or other turn off taste/scent. Otherwise, living near towns, nope. One apartment rental had water looking like the damn Caribbean filling up the bathtub; town chlorinated the shit out of their supply. |

I drink it all the time. I do run it through my Brita, though. I mostly do this because it's an easy way to filter it and it gets really cold in my fridge.

At my old place I'd just fill an empty gallon water jug straight from the tap and throw it into the fridge for when I wanted water. Tasted fine. Now my new place the tap water tastes a little funky so I run it through a brita and it's good to go.

Yes. If tapwater is available, I drink tapwater. Been drinking the tapwater here all my life so if it hadn't gotten me by now..
However, I typically won't drink the tapwater if I'm out of town or at a rural motel that's on a well. |

I'll definitely drink tap water when I'm out of bottled, but I prefer our spring water or Poland Spring water for personal sized water bottles to keep cold in my fridge, or a 5 gal water cooler for coffee etc. My well water is hard with high iron content so it doesn't taste nearly as good as high quality bottled water from a good source. Water is all I drink, its not all the same, and you can definitely taste the difference even between different bottled waters. I don't trust municipal water sources, nor will I drink water treated with chemicals.
I manage a bulk spring water source and a water bottling plant so I know a bit about water and water quality. |

It really depends on where you are.
A lot of tap water I've had in the Midwest has been awful. It's probably safe, but it tastes like dirty dishwater. |
