00:00:00.593 --> 00:00:03.877
In Bali, do not assume an unfamiliar bathroom

00:00:03.897 --> 00:00:05.768
tap supplies drinking water.

00:00:06.055 --> 00:00:08.939
If you cannot verify it, brush and rinse

00:00:08.959 --> 00:00:12.762
with unopened factory-sealed bottled water or properly treated

00:00:12.782 --> 00:00:16.651
drinking water. Set that water beside your toothbrush.

00:00:17.438 --> 00:00:20.575
A hotel may provide treated drinking water, but

00:00:20.595 --> 00:00:23.359
the word filtered is not enough information.

00:00:23.685 --> 00:00:26.289
Ask which outlet is intended for drinking and

00:00:26.309 --> 00:00:28.034
how the system is maintained.

00:00:28.347 --> 00:00:31.351
A bathroom tap and a designated refill station

00:00:31.371 --> 00:00:32.084
may differ.

00:00:32.873 --> 00:00:36.903
Think through three moments: bathroom, refill bottle and

00:00:36.923 --> 00:00:40.553
cafe. Use a reliable water source for each.

00:00:40.892 --> 00:00:43.483
Ice also needs a safe source; a clear

00:00:43.503 --> 00:00:47.146
cube or an expensive-looking venue does not verify

00:00:47.166 --> 00:00:48.092
how it was made.

00:00:48.856 --> 00:00:51.060
Keep a small supply where you will need

00:00:51.080 --> 00:00:53.085
it, including a late arrival.

00:00:53.411 --> 00:00:55.922
Carry a clean bottle and avoid mixing an

00:00:55.942 --> 00:00:58.626
uncertain refill into known drinking water.

00:00:58.939 --> 00:01:01.370
The practical goal is to make the safer

00:01:01.390 --> 00:01:02.423
choice convenient.

00:01:03.169 --> 00:01:06.213
Accidentally using a little tap water does not

00:01:06.233 --> 00:01:07.465
prove you will become ill.

00:01:07.751 --> 00:01:09.902
It also does not verify that source for

00:01:09.922 --> 00:01:13.366
future use. Return to a reliable water plan

00:01:13.493 --> 00:01:17.043
and seek appropriate care if concerning symptoms develop.

00:01:17.822 --> 00:01:21.185
Ask your accommodation: which water can guests drink,

00:01:21.471 --> 00:01:24.302
and how is that source treated and maintained?

00:01:24.628 --> 00:01:27.845
If the answer remains unclear, use sealed bottled

00:01:27.865 --> 00:01:29.750
or appropriately treated water.

00:01:30.063 --> 00:01:33.214
