Same with me. I went back to filtered tap water. Better than bottled crap that is just filtered tap water anyway.

I only drink bottled water. I have a well and I don't bother testing it. I have a whole house filter to remove the non solubles, my water has a high iron content. I am fine bathing in it and washing dishes and cloths in it but I don't drink or cook with it. I also flush my well tank and well pretty often. Maybe one day I will have the water tested to find out its quality.
You should. My well water tests better than public water and no you don't need a test every year. Well water is filtered over a longer period of time by the same process that man-made water treatment plants have emulated at a faster rate.

It depends on the specific spot. You can be in a rural area right next to an old dumping spot or in a developed area with a deep clean well.
There are rules that require private residential wells to get tested when a house is sold, but there are a lot of wells that have never been tested and a lot of people plausibly consuming contaminated water.
Same.
There is a whole other option than tap or plastic bottle that many seemed to have skipped over.
Reading about wells, I found this blurb interesting
How Old is Water in a Deep Well?
It is not uncommon for water to be some thousand years old in a deep well. It can be millions, and sometimes even billions of years old. The age of groundwater can be detected by Carbon-14 decay or by measuring known contamination.
Not to mention carcinogens seeping into bottled water from the cheap plastic bottle that has been exposed to varying temperatures between bottling and consumer drinking the water.
Forget where I saw it, maybe Reddit? But there was something about a pallet of bottled water outside that had the comments section freaking out.
We have a whole house filtering system in basement and we still drink certain bottled water exclusively. I certainly don't trust anything a governmental agency says,especially when they disclose years later about the contamination seeping into the ground water.
You’re not kidding. I had no idea.
I look at it for watches (certain Casio’s, Seiko’s and Rolex’s) and one of our cars.
So you are saying you put down the controller and went outside to drink from a hose? Why would you do that?
Where do you get your bottled water tested? Alternatively, who is it that you trust that is tesing it for you?
What controller ? Back then we spent our time outside, and when the street lights came on, we
went in, ate, and watched TV.
