  That would be a good question for your pediatrian as they might be more familiar with what the tap water is like in your area.  Our tap water was fine but I still chose to use bottled water for DS.  If you do use tap water, you'll need to boil it first for the first few weeks or so.

  I used tap water that I boiled for the first few months with my daughter.  The doctor said I only needed to do it for a few weeks.   I agree though talk to your pediatrician and see what they say.

  I agree - ask the pediatrician because it depends how your local water is treated and how old your plumbing is. I used tap water with DD when I switched her to formula. But if you tend to be a more panicky first time parent, keep in mind that this is not something life or death (you know, unless there's some random water borne disease scare in your area : P) so if you ever have to use a different source than you usually do because you're out for the day, your child will be ok

  I agree to ask your pediatrician.  Ours recommends a specific nursery water because the fluoride in our water is a bit high and we have older pipes.
