Here in Germany, tap water is regulated more heavily than bottled water sold in stores, and it regularily has higher quality. In the city I’m from, it’s just genuinely high quality water. There’s a few regional exceptions, as expected more commonly with large cities, where people described their water as bad tasting, but I never met someone from here that was completely against drinking tap water like I later learned is common in other parts of the world.
Yes there are people like that in Belgium, even though the water is heavily regulated :(
For Vancouver, Canada, it’s supposedly some of the cleanest in the world. Actually, what prompted this post was my remembering that my university (UBC) has a campaign encouraging students to drink tap water in Vancouver, something I can definitely get behind for mainly environmental reasons.
Here in Finland it’s 100% drinkable.
You have to boil it to drink it…
Apt to mutating the DNA of the consumer.
Valencia (Spain) water is great for rices, but we say in Spanish that is very heavy - a lot of CaO - and we buy a lot of mineral water or you have de calcification and inverse osmosis machines at home as I have.
So what I get from the comments, tap water everywhere around the world is the best water you could possibly find. :-)

i think it was a joke intended to highlight that lemmy’s users’ water quality is not representative of reality
You can’t be communist and have clear water? :p

It’s drinkable but just like everything you grow where I live you risk getting prostate cancer after a while (more than usual).
It’s perfect. I know my partner in Florida can’t drink the water there, but up here it’s absolutely wonderful.
I figure I’m in a good place for water if the world burns, being right next to the great lakes.
Here in Belgium, the tap water is heavily regulated. But even with this, some people are totally against drinking tap water (I don’t know why, they say it doesn’t taste good because of limestone). I personally only drink tap water and it’s really good :)
Yeah it’s fine. Bit murky with fluoride or whatever else they add in. But totally drinkable and safe. In my old city it was less cloudy but still tasted the same
