This conversation is so funny. When I'm up in Ohio I have a small 2700 cistern and catch my water off the roof. I'm thrilled to have "city water" at my home in TV and drink it all the time. It's clear, clean, and I don't have to worry about a pump giving out in the middle of a shower or the pump freezing in winter. I had a guy try to sell me a water softening system one time and part of his sales pitch was telling me how I would save money on laundry detergent. Hell, I figured it out and I would have to wash clothes until I was 151 yrs old before it paid for itself. To each their own I guess.
