Some buildings have plumbing systems in which water travels through different pipes, tanks, or storage arrangements before reaching individual taps. In older properties, bathroom taps may receive water from a storage tank rather than directly from the mains supply.
If the water has been stored for a long time or the tank is poorly maintained, its quality may be affected.
That is why you should not assume every bathroom tap is automatically suitable for drinking simply because the water looks clear.
