Default Should I boil my spring water before adding it to the wort/primary?

I read that you should boil tap water if thats what you are using for your beer but what if Im using spring water, should I boil that too?

It can't hurt, but I usually don't bother, and it's never been a problem.

I don't even boil tap water....My feeling has always been if there's no boil water advisories in your community, there really is no need...though some peope do it NOT for sanitization but to drive off chlorine...again, I've never seen the need for my water.
