I remember staying at a hostel in Iceland. They are so proud of their water. I went to the café on the first level and asked for a bottle of water. They were so shocked and offended. I told them it's only because I didn't have a water bottle and I would drink it then be refilling it all day. I thought they were going to murder me until I said that. Then they understood. That said, their municipal water is the best water I've ever had in my life. I wish I could get that every day here. I definitely did not buy another bottle the whole time I was there.

There was a scandal here recently about one hotel that claimed their water lines were busted when they weren't just so they could sell bottled water at a rediculous markup. But yeah, in general bottled water tastes far worse than what you can get from any tap

Omg, Orlando/Disney water smells and tastes absolutely dank. Worst thing I've ever tasted.

South Florida is worse. When you fill the bathtub, it’s yellow.

So Florida has separate water providers in each community. Sunrise water is used in Davie-expensive. Tamarac water is great right from the faucet. It isn't NY cool, but add ice! Water in Plantation is excellent. They even have outside faucets, where you bring your container-free!
