Water in Qatar is distilled according to international standards and municipality & Qatar Health authority supervises it. Yet, the problem occurs on the water distribution pipeline system. Which is having major upgrade now.
According to Qatar CDC, no water poisoning cases ever been reported here.
You can safely use tap water after filtration. Or you can install water cooler.
However we use the piped water for tea, coffee, cooking, etc.; i.e. anything involving boiling the water.
Having said that I have a 5-stage filtration system at home:
1. Filter before municipality water enters tank.
2. Filter immediately after water exits main tank and before entering home tank.
3. Filter before water enters home tank.
4. Filter after water exits home tank.
5. British Berkefeld ceramic filter in kitchen for coffee, cooking, etc. The "Super Sterasyl" filters reduce up to 99.99% of particulates, cysts, parasites and pathogenic bacteria including but not limited to E.Coli, Cryptosporidium, Girardia and Salmonella Typhi. Additionally, British Berkefeld filters will reduce chlorine, rust, sediment and organic chemicals.
I've had this system for 9 years now and we've never had a water-related health problem or a sickness and I have small children.
You might think that it's too much hard work and you could just buy bottled water but I installed it after cleaning the shower heads and seeing all the rubbish accumulating there and wonder what it was doing to my hair, scalp and skin.
Qatar's winter months are brimming with unmissable experiences, from the AFC Asian Cup 2023 to the World Aquatics Championships Doha 2024 and a variety of outdoor adventures and cultural delights.

After I saw the country waterpipe facilities I feel horrible that I have to wash in it, leave alone drink it.
I love my drinking water chilled.
yes they deliver, I think it is cheaper to get it delivered.
I drink tap water. It's a little warm at this time of year, though. :-)
500 to 600ml is Qrs. 1.00
1 to 1.5 l is Qrs.1.50
the big bottles, I think 35 l is Qr.8.00
$ 1 = Qrs.3.65
hope that helps, never really bothered to check the volume per bottle. There are some expensive brands as well.
how much does botted water cost there< and what quantity does it come packed , do they also deliver it home if we ask
but I use tap water for everything else (ie coffee)
On occassions, having run out of bottled water, I have drank the tap water...I´m still alive
For drinking we buy bottled water.

The water here is not drinkable. Drink and cook with bottled water.
