I mostly drink tap water when I'm not drinking coffee. A touch of lemon
helps to kill the metallic taste from chlorination.
I only buy bottled water under two circumstances:
1. During long distance travel via automobile my refilled water bottles
sometimes run out. If there's no convenient way to refill them with safe
water, I'll buy bottled water when I stop for gas.
2. I still use distilled water from the grocery store to fill my steam iron.
I recycle the bottles, but usually I'll refill a bottle several times
before doing so.

I filter our water at home and at the office, and we fill water

When we visited Switzerland, I was amused to see the locals filling
empty Perrier and Evian bottles with local tap water from the public
fountains.

I agree - don't buy bottled water, unless you're in the wilds of Ethiopia or
similar.
A few years ago I was in a taxi in France which went past a water-bottling
plant (this one:
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qu%C3%A9zac_%28eau_min%C3%A9rale%29). The taxi
driver told me that the water comes out of the ground naturally carbonated,
but for health and safety reasons they have to take all the bubbles out,
clean the water, then put all the bubbles back in again. I now have a
picture in my mind of billions of bubbles, each in their own tiny little
pigeonhole waiting to put back in the water, with tweezers.
Similarly, when I asked at a nearby brewery where they get their water from,
they told me "the Thames" (meaning the Thames Water Authority - tap water,
in other words). But they clean it and then program into it the specific
mineral composition of the source they want to imitate when making
particular styles of beer.
Who'd 'a thought?
