American water varies a lot by municipality. Not even state to state. Counties matter.
The best seems mostly reliant on either: an amazing local watershed with a strong aquafer or a municipality which spent a fortune on top flight water plants.
Santa Ana has a strong aquafer and great quality. St. Louis spent a fortune on municipal water plants. Both have great water.

Yes, it's actually of better quality than literally any bottled water you can buy anywhere in the world. The only thing that could have a negative influence on quality and taste is if you live in a house with very old pipes.

... until i moved to Portland?

I bought a house in lents and the tap water tastes like used bandaid. disgusting. it's not the pipes, either. I had it all checked

recently i sold the place and bought a house in Fairview and the water here is great, but not as good as it was growing up in the county as a kid

Mineral water is a big thing here, but having worked for both, the mineral water industry and the tap water utilities, I'd rather have the tap (unless they put chlorine in it. fuck that shit! Tastes like shit, and its a perfect way to tell everyone that you do not have your system under control and have fucked up pipes or an unsafe source)
But in countries where I cant drink tap water, bottled is OK, because compared with third world tap, id rather have the bottle

I live in Seattle, USA, and our tap water is cascade mountain glaciermelt straight from the Cedar River. Clean and pure as fuck.

Hell yes I drink that shit.

But I've lived some places where it's not so great. Inland southern california, it tastes pretty nasty, but not so nasty that you can't drink it unfiltered.

In Phoenix, AZ and Socorro, NM, the water straight from the tap is technically safe, but is absolutely nasty unless you filter it. A cheap brita-type filter is usually all you need to make it taste drinkable, though, and that's what most people use.

When I'm traveling to those places, I usually drink bottled. You can get the big 24 packs of water bottles for $2.99 at most grocers, and food stamps will cover water.

I've met people that are really weirded out by tap water though. One time I was at work and the water cooler was out so I just filled up at the faucet. My coworker thought I was crazy. Tastes the same to me and I'm not too concerned about whatever they put in it.

my tapwater has a slight chlorine and metal taste to it. I use one of those Pur filters that go on the faucet. They're kinda pricey, so I go to Costco with one of my friends (he's got a membership) and buy a couple of 5-filter packs when they go on sale for like 1/3 the price I'd buy them in regular stores.

AZ here, and lived in Seattle and Woodinville
True about AZ water. It's treated very well, but then it goes through concrete canals and picks up minerals of all sorts. Tastes like dust. Seattle water is good, but there are some nasty pipes still around some parts of the city. The apt building I was in had some of those and it sucked.

On-tap filters, filters that go on big jugs, filters for your entire house, bottled water, plastic kegs of water that's relatively cheap and you just return the jug to the grocer and refill (available in every state). Beer.

Yes, apparently we have really good tap water. At least that's what i've heard said over and over again.

I use it for making tea only. I know boiling it does fuck all to remove pharmaceutical and pesticide waste but whatever, at least I won't taste it.

For drinking water I buy UV, charcoal, osmosis filtered water in refillable 3 gallon jugs from the hippie store. BPA free jugs even. It's about 75 cents a gallon I think. It tastes really good but I wonder if it's demineralizing me or something.

it's so pure that one day I detected a change, called the town and subsequently discovered that the state had made a diversion to secondary water sources 60 miles away and I was tasting a noticeable difference.

You can't make a generality about the US. Every municipal system is different, and there are 155,000 separate municipal water systems in the US. These all have basic standards that are regulated by the federal and sometimes the state and local governments.

In addition, some people source their own water using underground pumps.

However, I've found the water in DC to be undrinkable, especially in the 90s, and the water elsewhere in the country to be alright. New York City claims to have the best tap water, but they are known braggarts about everything. One competition gave the top spots to waterworks from Massachusetts, Alaska, and Idaho, respectively.

As for me, the best water I ever tasted was a spring behind an old cabin deep in West Virginia. There was a corked PVC pipe. That was twenty-five years ago, but I can still remember how good it was.
