I only drink bottled water anywhere I travel. It is an inexpensive and easy precaution to take.

I usually drink bottled water on Ambergris, but I brush my teeth and use tap water to swallow pills. The water in town is supposed to be safe, I know I've never gotten sick.

Further north or south, water may be from cisterns, certainly wouldn't drink there.
