i think it depends on preference and also situation... luckily, DH and both prefer tap water but we've also both been lucky enough to grow up and now live in areas that have pretty decent tap water... i would probably not drink if i saw murky water... bleh!...
there are areas of the island where the water just doesn't taste as good and most of those people tend to filter or buy bottled but luckily we don't have to ... we do however have a filter and keep both filtered and bottled water on hand since we have family members who don't drink tap...
