Subject: Best tasting water, city and/or bottled.
Written By: bj26 on 07/04/03 at 11:18 a.m.
Best bottled - Dasani - delicious, they have added a tad of something that brings out the flavor.
Best city - Nashville - really had a nice flavor, perfect temperature.
Notable mention - Atlanta - fair, comes out of the mountains but lots of development now between the mountains and Atlanta has decreased the quality of the water.
Worst - most cities in Florida, water tastes salty.
Savannah, GA and Biloxi, MS - water turns water fountain metal dull or rusty.

The best water I ever tasted came from a spring near my house when I was a kid. After playing pick-up sandlot baseball, with paper plates for bases, no umpires, no catcher's equipment etc, we would all go down to the spring and quench our thirst. Wild watercress grew in it, which we would munch on. ;D ;D (I don't recommend this today, what with pollution and all :'() Ah those bygone days of youthful bliss in rural New Jersey (it ain't rural no more). :'( :'(

When I was in London, England, I thought the water there was horrible. It tasted like rotten fish!

The best water I ever had was when I lived on a mountain. Sometimes dirt would get into the pipes but it was clean dirt. ;) The funny thing was, at the bottom of the mountain was a pipe with running water coming out of it. People would stop and fill up water jugs. I felt privilaged because I had that same water coming right out of my tap. I should have bottled it and sold it. Oh well.

Well the water in the U.K tastes very different to the States as we process it in a different way over here.The water in Oxfordshire is very hard and is best filtered.
The worst I ever tasted is a toss up between Florida where it tasted like swiming pool water to me and Dublin where we ended up buying bottled water to boil in the kettle because the water was so bad the tea and coffee tasted gross.
I have to agree the best I have ever tasted is fresh spring water in the peak district like nectar!
My prefered bottled water is Evian.

Well, as it's the only water I drink, I suppose I must be used to it! But rotten fish?
IMO, our tap is great - it's one of the hardest in the country so there's an attractive "edge" on the taste - downside, it fouls up your kettles, washing machines and pipes something chronic! Soft water (as found in the North & West) tastes somewhat blander to me...but there's preference for you...
I've never had any need whatsoever for bottled water...

Bottled, I have to go for Dasani. Evian, Aquafina, and Ice Mountain are pretty good too.
Worst-Tap, I have to go for my town. You know it's gonna taste bad when you fill a white cup and the water looks like watered-down orange Kool-Aid with a little bit of dirt thrown in--and that's WITH a water softener with a special rust filter. :(

The worst tap water I have ever incountered was in Poughkeepsie, NY. It was basically Hudson River garbage. It smelled as it came out. YUCK!!!! Nasty, nasty stuff.

dasani has pretty good bottled water.
i'm not sure about tap water, because after too many expiriences with the water from around here, i stopped drinking from the tap. sometimes it doesn't taste too bad, but other times, it's like drinking directly out of the river. :-X

To be honest, buying bottled water is an alien concept to me. You get it from the tap as standard. Where i live the tap-water doesn't taste objectionable, although in different parts of the area the taste can get worse. If worse comes to worst, you can always buy a filter jug.
I remember the old joke about water when i lived in the Middle-East: the only difference between the tap-water and the bottled was that the former was filtered once and the latter was filtered twice - which was probably true.
