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

874 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.

The water can be used to wash things. And tap water is usually safe to drink once cooked. I don’t think there are many dishes with “raw” water.

As for the drinking water you get served, some use filtration systems, some cook the water then cool them down, and some straight up hand you bottled water.
