  I've experienced both. I've had well water that was cleanest, best water ever. I've also had municipal water that tastes like garbage. It all has to do with the treatment, storage, and mineral content. It's surprisingly variable.

  I was never a fan of water growing up, but one day when I was about 13 I got lost on a hike at a school camp. It was a stinking hot day in the Aussie bush and I spent hours trying to find my way back.
  After hours of wandering around I finally found the way out, and got back to the camp and felt ultra dehydrated. The water was amazing, I couldn't stop drinking and splashing my face with it. 
  I've loved water ever since. >
  
  I went to some camp and drank well water, that was nasty compared to the regular filtered or tap water in the city.
