Bottled Water vs. Tap Water: Which is really safer?

Do you drink bottled water because you believe it to be safer and healthier than tap water?
In our efforts to make informed decisions and take responsibility for our own health and well-being, it makes sense to take a hard look at one of our most basic health needs — safe drinking water.
Above and beyond the health issue, bottled water comes at a much higher price than does tap water, both economically and environmentally. That’s two strikes against bottled water. So is it really safer than tap water?

I drink bottled water because the water in town is really foul tasting. My dogs can not drink the water from the tap because it gives them diarrhea. I think really it depends on the town or state you live in if the water is safe to consume.
