&gt; is tap water safe to drink?<p>As someone who lives across the pond, it never ceases to amaze me that this question needs to be asked at all. Is tap water safe to drink? I wouldn&#x27;t take &quot;no&quot; as an answer unless I&#x27;m in some remote third-world country that has known issues with the availability of drinking water. And yet...<p>Not saying tap water here tastes great everywhere (far from that), but you can be pretty sure it won&#x27;t cause you any physical harm.
