If bottled water is not available, bring water to a full rolling boil for 1 minute. After boiling,
allow the water to cool before use.
Boil tap water even if it is filtered (for example, by a home water filter or a pitcher that filters water).
Do not use water from any appliance connected to your water line, such as ice and water
from a refrigerator.
