How do restaurants use water in places without safe-to-drink tap water?

888 views

In most places in the world, tap water is not safe to drink out of the tap, and thus,not safe to wash vegetables for salads, make ice, etc. So in these countries, does every restaurant have a filtration system? Do chain restaurants have filtration systems? Or is the tap water just used regularly? I know it’s dumb but it’s one of those things I just don’t get.

Eh, I’ve eaten at restaurants where I’ve watched them wash off the dishes in the gutter after a strong rain. I never got sick from that place. It sort of depends on the country and where you are inside that country.

When I lived in that country I had a home water filter that boiled and condensed the water like 7 times while filtering it. In another country I lived in we used iodine tablets when soaking and washing vegetables. I guarantee no restaurant in that country did that.

Yes I’ve had a lot of food poisoning.
