tap water
Plumbed household drinking source
Tap water is water delivered through household plumbing, as opposed to bottled or filtered water.
The term often carries implications about quality—either trust in municipal treatment or concern about contaminants: Is the tap water safe to drink here?
I just drink tap water; I'm not buying bottles.
