It is probably unsafe to drink the water from the taps in Chapala and Ajijic. Most people here, even the locals, drink bottled water. It is not recommended to drink the water coming from the lake, either. However, people do brush their teeth using tap water. When you do that, eventually, people tend to colonize their digestive tracks with the local flora and they turn out to be okay.
