Mineral water without plastic

I like mineral water - I much prefer it to tap water (I can tell the difference - tap water round here is potable but tastes metally). I have been drinking squash but am a little concerned about artificial sweeteners (there are anecdotal links between sweetener and IBS, which I have).

But I don't want to contribute to the plastic mountain. Any ideas how I can drink bottled/mineral/nice water reasonably cheaply minus plastic?

Thanks

I only drink water from plastic bottles.

I googled and found this

Water filter? Either within a reusable bottle or a brita jug? I found they improved the taste of water. Alternatively one of those bottles with a section for fruit/herbs. Fill the night before and enjoy infused water the next day.

Depends where you live, there's natural springs you can get free water from in some places

Could you filter the tap water? A decent filter should remove metallic taste.

Mineral water being pumped and driven around will generate carbon too, it's not just the plastic bottle which is environmentally harmful.

Yeah Hopelesslydevoted - you have a point. I need to get into a regime of filtering and refrigerating tap water.

In my shop we sell resealable cans by Can O Water.

Get a well? We had a well at our last home- not that I ever drink from it.

I'd love a well, Blackcurrant. I wonder if Amazon delivers?

We had a Brita jug and for me it didn’t make that much of a difference.
