The water at DLP, to me at least, always tastes a little of chlorine, and upsets my throat a little bit.
But then again, I'm used to Dutch tap-water which is generally rather good, so I may be somewhat biased.

However bottled water isn't too expensive.

I dont find the water tastes good enough to drink but its great for splashing over yourself on very hot days :D

If you can stop off at a supermarket where you can get bottled water, I rather do this than risk the kids getting upset tummy...
There is the shop at the train station and at the garage...

Hope this helps...

You can drink from the taps/drinking fountains without problem if they are turned on. Just make sure not to have your mouth coming into direct contact with any part, since you never know how many kids with their germs have drunk before.

Which EU countries is it not advised?, we've been going to DLP since 1992 and not had any side effects. Now excuse me while I go shave my wife's eyeballs........

Have always drank the tap water with no ill effects.

It's perfectly drinkable, it's more than clean enough, but I can taste the chlorine they use, which is not exactly a tasty addition. If your throat is already irritated, then the water will make it worse, as for the most part, it acts like low concentration hydrochloric acid (dissolved chlorine gas tends to do that).

That's something I've noticed in multiple countries, in the Netherlands they use something else, or at least, don't use chlorine, which makes it taste a whole lot better. ;)
That's really my only complaint, it's certainly clean drinkable water, just not very tasty.
