In Michigan drinking from the tap is pretty universal, unless you live in a rural area with a well. Being in the middle of a couple large freshwater lakes gives you delicious water.

That said, water purification is big business. People have filtered water pitchers (think Brita) or large units that supply the whole house (Culligan)

Depends on the well also. Nestle has a huge bottling plant in Evart that uses well water.

Of course. Many wells have quality water while some will turn your clothes and appliances orange
