tap water
- Question
- Hello, I am the mother of a little boy with cystic fibrosis and I am surprised it is not forbidden to drink tap water. My CF center tells me that there is no problem [translators comment: this question is from France, so the information is about the state of French tap water] but I'm stumped because water stored is probably full of germs ... Can my son drink the water without worry?
Thank you
- Answer
- hello,
I confirm the advice of your CF Center about the consumption of tap water.
I invite you to visit the website of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, which regularly gives the state of the water in your network:

The tap water in France is very controlled and microbiologically wholesome.
To simply remove any chlorine smell, just leave the water sit for a few minutes in a decanter placed in the refrigerator. Don't forget to wash the decanter after each use.
It is also recommended to let the water run for a few seconds in the morning before use to remove standing water from your tap.
.
It is also advisable to change the water jug every 24 to 48 hours.
Hoping to have answered your relevant question of a caring parent.
Sincerely
