Can you drink the water in Jamaica?

Is it quite safe to drink the water in Jamaica? Do they usually supply bottled water at the resorts?

Bottled water (WATA, Zephyr Hills and imported Evian brands) are widely available on island. Piped water is fine island-wide. In some 30 odd years, have never experienced a problem (unlike in the DR and Mexico). But everbody's system differs and wherever you
travel, there can be an adjustment
period. Go with bottled if you'll feel more assured. What's supplied at resorts free or fee varies widely. Go to a supermarket and
buy what you need if the resort
mini-bar pricing is extortionate or supplies infrequently refilled.

We have never had a problem with tap water in Jamaica.

Water at the resorts is perfectly fine to drink.
