With the recent outbreak of tap water pollution in the United States, many people have questioned whether tap water is really safe to drink. The answer is no, but not because tap water is bad. It’s simply that there are no government standards for drinking water, and most companies that provide water services don’t know their standards well enough to provide safe, clean water. This lack of government regulation has allowed the growth of a whole range of contaminants, including lead, chlorine, volatile organic compounds, and others.
In the past few years, the problem of drinking water contamination has been exacerbated by the fact that more people are moving into high-income areas, where industrial and commercial waste is the norm. It’s not only industrial waste that causes lead to seep out of pipes, it’s also household garbage, so the problem of tap water contamination in urban areas has become particularly acute.

We advise that you ask locals or hotel staff about the water quality. Also, note that different cities have different water mineral contents.
