Safety of Tap water in villa compound

I've been in Doha for a few weeks now with family. We live in a villa compound. We've been drinking mineral water but we've been cooking with tap water. (For example, I've been eating oatmeal made with tap water.)

Having we been doing something wrong? Should we get a water filter for the tap? Where can we buy this? I live near Landmark mall.

So where should I look for a water filter that fits on the tap? Would this then be a safe solution?

Normally the water coming from the Municipality is Potable water only, But after it enters in to the building it will go to water tank, The water tank& filters might not cleaned for years and the faucets(Taps)are not changed for years so better to use the water with a Filter.
