Strongly disagree. In cities, there is one primary source of clean water - tap water. Problem is there is no garauntee to it's cleanliness, it has chemicals in it, and it tastes lousy.
Unless you live in Detroit. Detroit tap water is tasty.
And so is some school's water where they add fluoride. It gives the water a vaguely sweet taste (this may sound gross, but actually it tastes quite good)... sometimes. And some drinking fountains taste like nails 
Flouride. That's a chemical. Can cause some nasty health problems if you consume too much.
Technically speaking, a lot of things are chemicals. Did you know that humans consume two to three cups of dihydrogen monoxide on average every day?
Dihydrogen monoxide eh? I prefer to call it water 
. Somebody scared a lot of people by creating a website all about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide, a lot of people got very scared apparently.....
Fluoride is in toothpaste as well John so you intake a lot of it anyway....unless you don't brush your teeth......
LOL. Dihydrogen monoxide. Yeah, that would scare a lot of people.
Flouride in toothpaste is a little different though - I don't swallow that. As I said, it's only in larger quantities that it has negatives.
Still, a lot of people in this thread have shown that tap water quality varies from city to city. Atlanta has 'ok' water, it's not tasty, but it's not terrible, I'd say it's average. I think we'd see a correlation between bottled water sales and water taste in cities.
Every chemical is dangerous in large enough quantities, including dihydrogen monoxide.
Our tap water here is of very high quality, and I've never bought bottled water in my life. I don't have any problem with it being a bottled, branded product, but it seems pretty ridiculous to me how expensive it is; in most places, a bottle of water costs more than a similar sized bottle of pop (sorry, soda for all of you non-midwesterners).
