Juat arrived in amsterdam and i asked the hotel receptionist if they offer complimentary water and they said no, because their tap water is safe

If you're used to drinking water from America... Dutch water will be better for you than what you get at home.

What's wrong with the fact that you only have a bathroom sink in your room??? I'm not aware of anywhere outside of America that has a full sized kitchen in their hotel rooms.

The taps will be cleaned by the cleaners on a daily basis, so the tap is clean and the water is clean. You don't really have anything to be scared of.

I'm in hotels 150 days a year in America and Eupoe. I drink the tap water in those hotels. I only twitch a little for a few days after.

Unless someone has plumbed their house to use "grey water" inappropriately, the water source in ANY home, etc., should be the same at ANY sink, ANY tub / ANY shower, ANY washer (dishes or clothes), ANY icemaker: ANY first use of water.

Outside taps are typically not softened in a well-based system.

So if the SOURCE is ok, ALL the water in THOSE locations is OK.

For a well, you can get bacteria. This requires a bleach treatment and retesting. During the time of the bacteria, boiling is important.

Sometimes city water supplies have problems; this leads to boil advisories.

NYC water is far cleaner than bottled water.

Greywater / grey water = water after a first use from a sink, shower/tub, or laundry

THAT (possibly with treatment) can be used for irrigation, flushing toilets.

Black water is after use in a toilet.

Yes, Dutch tap water is extremely clean. We are the world leading experts on water management after all.

Yes. In most cu listed countries tsp water is perfectly safe.

You’re discovering the truth about America.

But a water filter? Like brita or whatever?

I don't trust any tap water anywhere. The whole would is becoming a cesspool.

Tap water is safe to drink here in Australia.

Tap Water in most of Western Europe is perfectly safe to drink.

Yes, Americans do, unless the tap is labeled as "non-potable".

Yeah. Almost all of Europe's tap water is safe to drink straight from the tap.

It's safe. You're be drinking it with your coffee anyhow
