I suspect that most people purchase bottled water because it is oh so trendy and new age, not because of any health concerns. For a few bucks you can buy a pitcher with repaceable filters that costs far less than than bottled water. It comes out of the fridge nice and cold and you can fill up your latest designer label bottle so that none of your chic friends will know you are using plain old filtered tap water. That way you can continue to look really new age, save money, and keep plastic bottles out of the landfill.

I hate the taste of treated water (which is a fairly recent thing in Charlottetown) so we buy the reverse-osmosis filtered water out of the machine at the grocery store. Given that the level of pesticides keeps going up in well-water here (slowly, but surely), I’d do the same if we lived in the country - or better yet, buy one of the household filters.

My wife and I emptied a couple of bottles of energy drinks and then simply refilled the bottles with tap water. The bottles last for ages and only cost a buck an a half apiece with the ‘added’ energy drink and when they start to show an age or you get tired of them then you recycle them and buy another energy drink.
We usually fill the bottle one third and then lay it down in a freezer over-night. The resulting shaft of ice will keep the cold water you add the next morning well chilled for much longer.
BTW, we have four adults in the house and each has to have their own personal bottle.
