Good Drinking/Tap Water in Dubai?
The following is taken directly from this website:
"Because you are living in a desert, the bottled water is a massive market out here. You can drink the desalinated water from the tap, but mostly people just use it for washing up, brushing teeth etc. The water itself is not a problem from source… it is the cleanliness of the water tank in your building or villa that is the issue.
Tap water is generally not used for cooking or drinking. Most people get bottled water delivered to their house and have a water cooler to keep it cold or hot. These coolers are reasonably priced, around 300 - 500dhs, and are great for topping up flasks and other bottles for the kids. The actual water canisters are delivered once a week to your house so remember to keep a space for storing the large bottles that take up quite a bit of space."
All that said, if I WANT to use the tap water for drinking and cooking, wouldn't a Brita pitcher be ok, or the 6-month Brita filter that clamps onto the kitchen faucet directly? Or, are the storage tanks really that nasty? Not looking to get amoebic dysentary, but just save a few bucks. I mean, if we're in Springs or Meadows, would we have our own water tank per each villa?
Do all of you ladies have the water jugs they are speaking about up there?
Thanks!! :)
