I fill 5 gal bottles at a water store. Some of the 12 bottles I use are 30 years old. My kids and their friends grew up drinking from a water cooler at our house instead of sodas or juice.

When I started buying in 1993, my treated municipal water sourced from the Potomac river had a chlorine taste that seemed more noticeable in the winter. I now use unfiltered tap for coffee, tea and cooking, and barely notice any chlorine taste.
