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

884 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.

“Safe” is an interesting choice of word. Safe for Americans and safe for the local population is different standard. Our system is not used to the local biome in many places, and that’s why drinking their water makes us sick, but it’s perfectly safe for the local population
