Tap water is one of the most heavily regulated liquids there is. It may taste like dirt (like mine at home,) or like a swimming pool (like mine at work,) but under normal circumstances, it's guaranteed to be safe to drink and good for you.

If you leave a glass of water sitting out for a few hours, the chlorine will evaporate.
