As the above poster said we need to put more pressure on local government to keep local water clean, otherwise I think in the long term getting a filter and a multi-use bottle/container to carry water with is the best way to go. Bottled water is way too problematic to keep supporting and is incredibly costing. People should check out thinkoutsidethebottle.org for some more info on the issues with bottled water and, hopefully, you'll all sign the pledge to stop drinking bottled water avoiding bottled water seems like the best way to go.

I stick to tap water whenever possible. My feeling is, if you aren't satisfied with your municipal water then you should write a letter to you local representative and tell them what you think. We shouldn't have to pay for water (except through our taxes). It's a bad precedent to set. Regardless of the convenience factor, I always try to avoid bottled water.

If you have 2, then you can bring them for longer trips without having to buy another. It's really convenient, since I can always have one ready to hand without the spill risks of a glass. Costs a couple dollars up front and then nothing for months (well, the normal price of tap water, which is pretty low when it comes to drinking). Dishwasher's the best way to get them clean.

That way you have the convenience but not the cost How about buying a decent quality water bottle like a nalgene and filling it up before you leave the house, or keeping the ones you buy and refilling them?
