It is not like Mexico but sometimes it is rusty or dirty. You probably will drink some and never know it. If you do want to drink bottled water you can buy a 5 gallon tank and refill it at a number of places around town for 25 cents a half gallon. Many places use the plentiful rain water and then filter that.
