That entirely depends on where you're drinking it.  I once had the
misfortune to taste London tap water directly (at St Pancras Station,
about 1986), and I swore I'd never drink it again.  I suspect you could
bottle cat pee and it would still taste better than London tap water,
so comparing a free product that tastes vile with a more expensive one
that tastes pleasant isn't really a fair comparason.

I've never lived in a place where the tap water wasn't drinkable. Even when I lived in England (Surrey) the tap water was fine. Yet all these places I've lived have sold bottled water in a number of varieties in the store.
