We drink tank water all the time.
Its not hard to maintain your water system to a hygienic standard.

If you want to see proper polluted water, watch an Oxfam ad on TV!

I only drink bottled water. If I have visitors to the van I give them water from the tank.
Give visitors WATER !!!

Stale water?

It's not bread you know!

If that's of concern, I would be checking those sell by dates on the bottles of Evian in Tesco!

Clean water placed in a clean vessel will stay clean. If you have a dirty vessel, then yes the bugs will go forth and multiply.

Have been caravaning/motor homing for over 30 years and have always used the water from the on board tank for drinking and cooking.

I used to work for British Gas repairing broken gas mains and quite often worked along side the water board teams doing the same. If you were to see the sludge lying in the bottom of old mains it might just put you off drinking tap water. But most of us have been drinking it for years with out any ill affects , and who's to say that Peckham spring water is any different.
Our situation has changed recently as my wife had a transplant and is on immune suppresant drugs , so we now boil any water that she drinks,just to try and help.

We use a simple Brita filter jug for tea and coffee dogs drink straight out of the tap, same as most dogs they drink out of the dirties puddles and seem to love it.

If we wanna drink water then it comes from the water pure tap.. If we are gonna make tea etc etc then it is out of the normal tap.
After 8 years of drinking water from the tank no one has been ill from it

We find a bowl useful to stop the dogs drinking straight out of the tap.

What is the best way of cleaning the tank at the strat of the season. I use an aquachem chlorine powder. After flushing the tanks twice I still can taste the chlorine.

We use Katadyn Micropur products to clean, disinfect, and maintain the cleanliness of the system and have always drunk the water from our MH tanks. We are also careful about the water we put in.

We're one of those old couples that use all the amenities in our van. That includes the room with the sprinkerly thing on the end of a hose! When comes to the water tank properly maintained you should have no problems, 8 years and all is well so far !

Cheers for now Gray.
