Purified water versus tap water

Are there any health benefits in drinking purified water as compared to
tap water or is it mainly an issue of taste? I live in a large US city,
and the tap water tastes horrid, but I don't think that it can actually
affect my health (although I have been told so). Have there been any
studies done on this?
