Tap Water Purer Than Purifiers: 10 Indian Cities Where You Can Drink Directly!

• Puri, Odisha, is India's first city with 100% pure tap water, meeting international ISO 10500 standards, eliminating need for plastic bottles or purifiers.
• Bhubaneswar and Navi Mumbai also boast exceptionally pure tap water, with Navi Mumbai passing all BIS tests due to advanced filtration from Morbe Dam.
• Mysuru, Chandigarh, Thiruvananthapuram, Surat, and Visakhapatnam maintain high water quality through effective treatment, robust systems, and strict quality checks.
• Odisha's 'Sujal' plan aims to provide pure tap water in 24 cities, while Surat actively implements the 'Har Ghar Nal Jal' scheme.
• Naturally pure water sources like Umngot River in Meghalaya (Asia's cleanest) and Zanskar River in Ladakh offer pristine, directly potable water.

Why It Matters: Many Indian cities and natural sites offer tap water so pure, purifiers are obsolete, setting new benchmarks for quality.
