Do people in Bucharest drink tap water?
Most people that are well-off don’t drink tap water because of the pipes, so they don’t trust the quality of water. But what you need to know is that the water provider of Bucharest provides in-depth analysis of the water system ( ApaNova ) so you are in good hands.

Not really most of the orginins of the water come from chalk undergorund sources and river processing. There are complex procedures used in the water treatment, and these procedures are taken very seriously. Most of these systems have been modernised with EU funds to ensure that the city of Bucharest has clean drinking water.
