Do you buy spring water, or drink tap water?

I buy spring water occasionally but mostly drink tap. However today it tastes really off, and like a slight pipe taste. I think I'm going to buy more spring water.

Do you have a well or provided ("city") water?

@SomeMichGuy Provided water
@Coralmist
Do you know what kind of pipes you have?

Copper is best and actually helps kill things. You might have galvanized.

You shouldn't have lead, but you could check your water provider's records to see what is supposed to be your connection to the water supply.

Others in your area likely have had issues, so I'd ask around. You might need to filter it.

@SomeMichGuy I'll have to see what kind of pipes , I'm not sure. Thanks
@Coralmist If you look, copper v galvanized is easy; galvanized steel is greyish, copper you likely know (though it can have a dull patina, but never greyish).
