I like the taste of the tap water in my area and have chosen to skip the boiling step; I just top it off directly from the tap. If your tap water is not pleasant tasting, I would suggest that you boil your tap water. Another option: You could also freeze bottled water and drop the ice into the wort directly after the boil. It will add volume and quickly cool your wort to pitching temperatures. Depending on the quality of water in your area, boiling your tap water may or may not be necessary.
