Why wouldn't it be safe to drink?
The water might not be clean?

Not very uncommon, specially in third world countries.

Weird that you need to ask though. As far as I know, in MOST countries in the world the tap water isn't safe to drink.

Here in Brazil it isn't.

The water is clean in the big cities, but they have too much chloride. Plus, even though the water IS treated, we can't be sure the pipes that carries the water all over the city are in good condition.

Hell, I once saw clean water gushing from a sidewalk because the root of a tree broke the pipe and clean water was wasted all around. But something else broke nearby: a sceptic tank. The dirty water ended up going in the general direction of the broken clean water pipe and, after that, nobody could be sure the water in their taps was indeed clean.

But anyway, we don't drink water from the tap here in Brazil anyway. Everyone I know either filter the water or buys mineral water.
