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

872 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.

In Laos (SE Asia) almost every house and office has 5-gallon, plastic jugs of water delivered almost every day and they turn these upside down in a machine and use that. Often with chilling, but often without.

Similar to the ones you also see in offices in the West these days.
