Drinking tap water in Qatar?
By dohasoccerguy •
Does anyone here drink the tap water? I've heard that its perfectly safe to drink, yet most people I've spoken to all use the big bottled water dispensers.
Is is just a matter of taste?
And if you use the bottled water, is there a recommended one? In my area there are at least 2 or 3 different brands that do home deliveries. Do they charge a premium for that or is it reasonably priced?
Based on published tests (see recent article in doha news) the water is safe, though what I don't trust is the local water tanks which will vary in age and condition at each given villa or building. If those aren't properly cleaned and maintained then it doesn't matter how clean the water was when it got pumped in.
Thanks rider2200 - do you know if there's any studies done on the water?
u can use any brand...
safe to drink tap water in qatar the "pH" value is same as bottled water..
dont drink it please my advise to u...
becos i know two or three ppl in my surrounding who drank tap water and after 2-3 years had kidney stone....
i don't know whether the reason is drinking of tap water but i advise u not to go for it. as i drink very less water but bottled water and i m here since 4 years but there is no prob as such... but those ppl would have drunk more water than me ofcourse but since it was tap water they had problem
anyhow its my logic and my advise ... rest is left to u
