As a "tap-water--yuck!" person, I'd say:
No, I don't boil my bathwater.
No, I don't use tap water to cook with.
I fill my icetrays with bottled water.
I wash my hair with tap water.
Basically, if it goes IN my body it's going to be bottled water. ON my body...tap.
Sure, there are worse things I could be eating or drinking but it's just one of my "things."
My mother started buying bottled water from Sparkletts right after the big Los Angeles earthquake of 1971. The tap water was unsafe. It's part of Southern California culture and "earthquake preparedness" to have several gallons of bottled water available at all times. We just started drinking the bottled water on a regular basis and ever since then (I was 5) I can't stand the taste of most tap waters. Where I live now, the tap water is disgusting. I buy the 3-gallon bottles that the company picks up when empty, sterilizes and uses again.
ETA: My mother can only drink distilled water (minerals + only one kidney) so she doesn't have a choice. She has to buy bottled water.
