I don't know about "most countries" - at least, I believe it's OK to drink tap water in most of Europe and Scandinavia.

- tomatocracy 7y agoYes, it’s pretty common in much of the developed world. But if you think about it, it’s a pretty big waste of resources to use water purified to the point of being safe to drink for showering, filling toilets, watering the garden, washing the car, etc. The vast majority of the water you use doesn’t need to be drinkable.
