What two rooms require safe drinking water?

• A. Kitchen and Laundry
• B. Bathroom and Kitchen
• C. Bathroom and Bedroom
• D. Living Room and Kitchen

Answer: (B)

Potable water must be available where people will drink directly or use water for cooking and personal hygiene. The kitchen is the primary place for drinking water and food preparation, so its taps must supply safe water. The bathroom is also included because it’s used for activities like brushing teeth and rinsing, where water can be ingested, making it essential that those fixtures deliver potable water. Other rooms like laundry, bedrooms, or living rooms don’t typically provide drinking water, so they aren’t treated as needing potable taps in this context.
