yeah you're right. Im sorry. Its just that I was scrolling down and I saw "cities with best tap water" and I was like "are you serious?"

Not so much about tourists traveling about searching out best tasting water, but more of a means for those interested to compare and comment about different water, in different cities. No more, no less - those of us that drink the stuff every day we sorta care what is in it, how it tastes, and why; along with potential means to improve the taste and/or health aspects of it. 'k?

C'mon yourself. This is simply asking which cities in your opinion have the best tap water or at least "tolerable" tap water, not if you care about which cities have the best tap water. you have taste buds. I'm pretty sure you would care if the water you drank tasted good or bad This is a thread asking for opinions about which cities have the best tap water, not about whether you care. If you feel the need to bash the thread, I repeat once more, DON'T SAY ANYTHING!!! KEEP IT ALL INSIDE!!!

I always thought New York City had the best. It is comparable to bottled spring water. I always wondered where it comes from???

Post Returning to the thread topic

I hereby nominate:
  • Colorado Springs, CO (consistently delicious)
  • Boulder, CO (has its own municipal glacier)
  • Banff, Alberta, Canada (next to a national park with glaciers)
  • Jasper, Alberta, Canada (deep in the woods. . . few ever get there)

Obviously, mountain and glacial water has a distinct advantage in this poll!

Dayton, Ohio has very good tap water. Drank it all the time growing up. Florida must have some of the worst tap water.

My father used to work in the environmental division of the local power plant. You'd be surprised at just how clean the Hudson is compared to two decades ago.

There is quite a vibrant fish population.
