floridasun5 Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Most like filtered, meaning not out of the tap with all kinds of junk in it. Filtered out of fridge or bottled.

Marcster Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 On construction sites, you'll see tanker trucks that carry "Non-Potable Water" (not safe for drinking). http://www.truckfindersinc.com/WaterTrucks/2001IHC47002,000GallonWaterTruck(P2200)/2001%20IHC%204700%202000gal%20water%20truck,%20left%20front%20view%204.jpg They use water to mix up concrete on site, among other things.
AndreaInNC Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 But if you're mixing it with alcohol - does it really matter?

josetann Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Don't quote me, but I think many countries don't use potable water for things such as showering and flushing (you really shouldn't be drinking that anyways). Kinda makes sense, why treat all that water when the vast majority doesn't need to be? Though I do find it odd that a recipe would have to specifically state that you need to use potable water. I mean, if you live in an area like that, you already know what's drinkable and what's not, would you really use some non-drinkable water to cook food? I guess they have blondes all over the world (just kidding, just kidding!).
