   @zoowar In China and Hong Kong, people boil their municipal tap water before drinking. Drinking fountains provide cleaner and tastier water.

     @zoowar I should have taken a picture of the big signs saying "this water approved according the drinking water safety standard blahblah".

     @zoowar In Hong Kong the tap water is probably safe to drink, but boiling it helps clear the chlorine taste.

     Don't waste energy for "chlorine taste". Collect water in a jug and let it sit over night. The chlorine will dissipate from the water.

     @zoowar Good point. But they're gonna boil it anyway, they don't trust it.
