Tap water is tap water, and hopefully, if it comes from a public supply, it is usually tested and approved. At one time, most free-flowing springs were OK, but now, who knows. And for tap water, If I were in Michigan, I might use bottled water. If in the boonies, free-flowing springs are better, streams might be OK someplace. Look around for dead animals, if found around water source, let someone else try it first.
Back when I was a kid, I was told that clear water in a rocky, free stream was purified by the sun about every 20' or so. Today, with the pollutiants all over, its a different story.
