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

890 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.

Idk why everyone is answering to the affirmative, you frequently get sick when travelling, there’s a reason when you go some places that you get vaccinated and take cholera vaccines etc.

as a converse argument every commercial kitchen I’ve worked in DOESNT have a filter installed and even if they did it certainly wouldnt be high enough grade to prevent common water borne diseases, in se asia, africa, and mexico for example you need special treatment for that. Chlorine, u.v. ozone, something.
