Iowa has had the deposit for ages (as far as I can remember). The nice thing is quite a few stores will take back the cans/bottles here. Almost all grocery stores, Target, Wal-Mart, plus a few standalone redemption centers will take them. We have two big garbage bins we toss the aluminum/plastic into and take them in every few months or so. We can sometimes end up with $15-20 refund.
I grew up drinking well water, so that's what I really prefer. Our tap water is pretty good, though. We have a Brita, but that took up too much room in the refrigerator. I wouldn't be opposed to one that attaches to the tap, though, especially if we move out to the country.
