Haha.
My post was more with a wink in eye...
Well in many towns though, the tap water is purified from local river which is usually muddy dirty from agriculture then that it tastes very bad...luxury problems...

I haven't tried every water in the world but most of the water I drink is Singapore's public water, some of which is NEWater so I'd go with.... Singapore's collective sewage. *

You probably get up early when the Newater percentage is very low ... past 10:30am where I live, the water experiences a steep rise in temperature, gets a slight tint, and often a taste .... I may shower in it but would not ingest it anymore.

The fill-your-own bottle taps at Zion National Park in the southern part of the state also had some really awesome water. Course it probably didn't hurt that it was 102F in the shade when we were walking there.

On my first hike through the narrows at Zion, I was warned by a Park Ranger to be careful and not drink any of the water from the stream, lest I come down with what he called the Zion Zips. Advice taken.

We just stuck with the spigots at the lodge, museum, visitor's center and the like and it tasted glorious from those sources.

Hadn't seen this thread before.
To this day the best water I've ever had was at age 10 on a glacier in Alaska. We went on a cruise and did one of the helicopter glacier rides as an excursion one stop and there was a stream running into a deep crevice. We walked a bit away from the crevice and laid down on the snow and drank directly from the stream - as pure as can be.
