What makes you think that you can't drink US tap water? I've been drinking it my whole life. The area that I live in has very good tap water. The water department even sends me detailed reports periodically.

I did an exchange year in MN and my host family there told me not to, always bought bottled water and never drank it themselves. And when I did try it it tasted very chlorinated.

Water is regulated on the local level, so the quality varies depending upon what part of the country you're in. There are definitely places where you shouldn't drink the water.
