Open Question: Am I Better Off Drinking Tap Water?

After reading research about botttled water, I'm reading that bottled water is not any better than the water from my facet. Bottled water is ridiculously expensive and all the plastic I'm buying can't be good for the environment(even though it can be recycled). Plus I read bottled water is tap water anyway. I have started a routine of just taking my tap water and boiling it. Then I refrigerate it. It tastes much better than bottled water. My city's water comes from a regulated municipal water system (same as many bottled water companies). I live in Oregon and our tap water is pretty good. I know tap water has some traces of chlorine and probably not so many other great things, but does boiling the water help? Should I get a filter (like a Brita) as well? I just hate spending so much money for bottled water (which is rip-off tap water anyway).... read more
