For me I can not use other peoples tap water or hose water. Heck I won't touch water fountains *shiver*.
On STP last year I took ice cubes from the cooler full of bottled water and filled up my middle jersey pocket.
I'm OK with tap/hose/fountain water, unless it's really stinky well water. I was on a long backpacking trip once and the only fill up I could get was well water with so much sulfur that it smelled like hard-boiled eggs. *Blarf!*
