On the one hand, bottled water may be better. Depending on where you live, tap water may be of higher or lower quality. Furthermore, if you live in a place like the desert where there aren't any lakes around, drinking bottled water is probably better. Besides, if you go to a place like a restaurant a lot of people ask for bottled water. It is more recommendable to do this than to ask for tap water in a restaurant because of hygiene issues. You don't know if the tap in that restaurant is dirty, but the bottled water has a special seal that ensures you that the water is clean.
On the other hand, tap water is good too. Maybe a few years ago drinking tap water could be more dangerous. However, nowadays tap water is totally potable and you can drink it without any problem. Moreover, recent studies have shown that bottled water is bad. As we know, this water is bottled in plastic bottles and according to the experiments of some scientists, microplastics have been found in the water of these bottles. As a consequence, this plastic gets into our body and causes us injuries. What's more, if we talk about hygiene issues, bottled water can also be dirty. Sometimes in the factories there are defective bottles or workers who don't follow the rules and can damage the water.
To put it in a nutshell, both bottled water and tap water have advantages and disadvantages. We should think about which times it is better to drink one or the other. For example, at home you should drink tap water and in a restaurant you can drink bottled water. From my point of view, tap water is better because it doesn't just taste well, but it is also cheaper.
