Do you buy bottled water if you don't like the taste of tap water in your area?

I just came across an old article here which explains how bad bottled water is for the environment.

No, just made myself get used to the tap water! As long as it's very fresh and cold it's manageable. We used to use a Brita filter but I ended up objecting to keep paying for the filters, just another capitalist trap and something to end up in landfill.

I don't know how it works but I have seen fridges that have built in water filters and ice machines. I don't think you have to replace those although I'm not 100% sure.

I buy bottled water for drinking only, everthing else runs of stored and filtered rainwater. Saves me a small fortune in rates every year and the local water supply is heavily chlorinated which tastes awful.
