sink water

Basin's running stream

Water from a sink faucet, as opposed to bottled water or water from other sources.

The term usually appears in contexts distinguishing tap water by its point of delivery: The dog prefers sink water to the water in his bowl.

Sometimes implies water of lesser quality or formality than bottled alternatives.
