Thanks for some commonsense
canadair!
So that water tanks on AC aren't sterile. Big deal.
I wouldn't drink out of the tap in the loo on an aircraft for the same reasons I wouldn't do it on a train. Nominally potable, it isn't really meant to be consumed. Does anyone actually drink it? And there's no evidence that washing your hands in marginal water makes you sick. It would have to be
really heavily contaminated by pathogens to do that (and you'd have to lick your hands)!
