Lots of reasons, cheaper, no plastic etc. but the reason I prefer it is that when I travel I always keep water in the car. Bottled water is good for about a week then it starts to smell. Tap water has a bit of chlorine (harmless) that helps it to be kept much longer.
Why tap water is better than bottled.

I totally agree. Where did that bottled water come from anyway? I can't believe it when I see people debating about getting something for their kids at Sam's Club but they have 6 cases of bottled water on their cart.

I abhor chlorine. However, I'm too cheap for bottled water. I use a Zero water filter, and love it.

Interesting point about using a filter that removes the trace chlorine. It's great when your drinking the water at the tap (we get chilled water out of the fridge dispenser which has a filter) but if you are going to carry or store water you are better off to take it straight from the tap, unfiltered.

I guess it really depends on where you are, and how bad your water is. When I was expecting my first child, we were told not to make formula with tap water, as the agricultural runoff made our well water so bad. I hate chlorine myself. Even coffee tastes like crap with over chlorinated water.

I thought if you stored water from the tap for extended time you were supposed to put a bit of chlorine in it.
I drink from the tap, unless it has an odor to it or a taste.
