tapwater

Piped municipal hydration

Tap water is water that comes from a faucet connected to a municipal or well water supply, as opposed to bottled water or water from other sources.

The term is usually written as two words (tap water) but sometimes appears as one.

In many developed countries, tap water is treated and safe to drink, though quality varies by region.

The restaurant only serves tap water, not bottled.
