Underground aquifers are definitely used as the tap water source in some areas.
The main difference between spring water and tap, is likely that your tap has fluoride and chlorine to A) help with dental health and B) keep the water safe if there’s some kind of contamination on its way to your home.
If you own your home or can install one… I highly recommend just installing a reverse osmosis system for your drinking water. It needs annual service, but it’s a heck of a lot easier and cheaper than buying all your drinking water in bottles.
I rent so I’m stuck with that I’ve got. As I’ve said, I can’t do anymore due diligence here.
I’ve also had to switch water companies 4 or 5 times now because nestle keeps buying up the little local companies. I also use stainless or glass bottles for drinking out of.
Nestle claims they still used the same spring as the last company (which had the best tasting water) but as soon as nestle took over it tasted exactly like the rest of the arrowhead shit. Plus the service went to hell. So I switched to sparkletts.
Okay. Just as a friendly option you possibly haven’t considered, I used ZeroWater for a while before I bought a home and could install a reverse osmosis system; it might be a good value for you, and it does a really good job of cleaning up tap.
I think spring water can technically count as tap water.

I’ve tried multiple variations of those, and they all end up smelling/tasting horrible anyhow. Thanks though. What we are doing works well for us.
