I know that my mother only uses filtered water in NYC and yes she uses filtered water for cooking too. She has a filter connected to her faucet .

Bottled water is different from other bottled or packaged items in one notable way: there is an easily available and affordable alternative.

My water bottles aren't more wasteful than your detergent or milk bottles. We all have different needs and priorities. |
Bottled water is often just filtered tap water.

Poland Spring is claimed to be spring water, but I personally am suspicious of it because of its bitter taste not found in other spring water or tap water.

It's not an equal alternative.
Should we tell everyone to buy day old bread because it's cheaper so therefore paying full price is wasteful? It's not wasteful if there is a benefit. |
There is no environmental advantage to day old bread, and if everyone were to buy day old bread, it would no longer be cheaper. It's not comparable at all.
Also, even if there is a taste difference, for someone who is lucky enough to live in a part of the world where safe, clean water is readily available to be completely unable to drink it requires that the person be extraordinarily bad at drinking water.
