I do know people on city water who filter their water (Britta pitchers, or whatever).

I sometimes use the Pur filter on my kitchen tap, sometimes not. I think my well water is fine, but my son claims the filter makes it taste cleaner.

Funny thing: I was surprised when I first drank our well water (31 years ago) because it had no taste! I realized then that I had grown up (in Dearborn, Michigan) drinking chlorinated water and thought that water should taste like chlorine.
