about the water

the reason I asked about the water is that my wife and I rent sailboats sometimes in the caribbean - BVI, St Martin, Grenadines, and over the years we have stopped drinking the water out of the "ship's tanks" because when you think about it they are very hard to keep clean- on a boat you would have to pump them out - maybe on a plane just drain them?

Anyway, about a month ago some agency in the US checked about 200 commercial planes water and found about 20 of them (water tanks) contaminated with bacteria - a problem really to me. Not much progress in 50 years huh?
So that is why I asked .
Was the water then in rangoon or Bagdhad at the airport drinkable ?
