Colorado Springs, Colorado has the best and cleanest water.
Houston TX water, i don't drink. Surprised to hear all the comments about NYC's water being so good because I've been told by numerous people not to drink it.
Oklahoma City particularly the southern suburb Norman has horrible tap water. SF has good tap water. I remember most of Oregon having good tap water. Just as good as filtered of bottled water.
The water in the SF Bay Area is drinkable, but of course the cities bordering the Great Lakes will have the best water, as they draw from the largest freshwater source in the world.
Detroit, MI actually has great tap water. In fact, I read somewhere that it was rated the best tap water in the country.
Becaues it's basically great lakes water that they can tap. Most of the great lakes cities have great tap water, Chicago, Milwaukee, I'm assuming Cleveland, etc.
I was very pleasantly surprised when I moved to Chicago and had been use to hard ground water from the place I came. I also like that in the middle of winter the city has the best tasting ice cold drinking water. Sometimes its nice to have a glass of super-chilled water that's not in a bottle.
SF has really good tap water, it comes from snowmelt and the Hetch Hetchy Resevoir, which is basically a flooded granite valley so there is little sediment. It's so clean I guess they don't have to filter the water.
Minneapolis has a few weeks every year in the spring that their water taste like the dead fish and rotting leaves, which incidentally is the actual source of the problem. A call to the city waterworks dept will reveal that everything is normal and the putrid water won't harm you. So there is that.
New Orleans and Atlanta with New Orleans being worse. Running around Jazz land in the Gulf Coast humidity with Nola tap water was like being stuck between a rock and a hard place when I was young. I enjoyed Jazz land though! Hey Nola you can't have it all good food and good tap water.
I was told that Memphis has good water and the water in Mobile comes from The Big Creek water shed and it is pretty good.
