<human>: What are the benefits of drinking water from the tap?
<bot>: The primary benefit of drinking tap water is that it’s generally safer than bottled or filtered water. Tap water has been regulated by local governments and tested for safety, whereas many bottled waters have not been tested at all. Additionally, tap water typically contains fewer impurities and contaminants than bottled water. 2 Another advantage of tap water is its convenience. It’s always available and easy to access, so you can easily stay hydrated throughout the day without having to carry around a bulky bottle. 3 Finally, tap water often tastes better than other types of water, as it has been treated with minerals and filtered through pipes before reaching your home.
