Should I buy bottled water?

No, there is no need to buy bottled water. Once your tap water has been boiled for 3 minutes, it is safe to use again. We ask you to leave bottled water in the shops for people who really need it, such as people who are unable to boil their water, the elderly or families with young children. Although they too can use tap water safely after boiling it, doing so may be more challenging for them.
