My dad lives on long island and doesn't drink the tap water. He puts it in a brita thing were it filters the water. It tastes good in the brita thing but straight from the sink it tastes kind of i don't know i can't describe it maybe chalky??

I hang out in the Catskills not far from the Ashokan which is where all NYC water comes from. It's beautiful and well looked after by the EPA.

Problem is: added chlorine and added fluoride and the journey through hideous pipes, not to mention the nasty pipes in most apartments.

Still better than London's tap water which is recycled 7 times (7 people have already drank it!) UGH!

I'll stick to Polish Spring and recycle the plastic bottles thanks.

@DennisSC:

The National Geographic Channel produced a video on the construction of the aqueducts that carry water to NYC. The engineering accomplishments of that project truly are mind-boggling to this day.

They literally flooded an entire town upstate and constructed underground waterways for the water to reach NYC.
