A standard tap water faucet in the US typically has a flow rate between 1.0 and 2.2 gallons per minute (GPM).
To convert this to milliliters per second (mL/s), we can use the conversion 1 gallon = 3785.41 mL and 1 minute = 60 seconds.
A flow rate of 1.0 GPM is equal to:
1.0 GPM * 3785.41 mL/gallon / 60 seconds/minute = 63.09 mL/s.
A flow rate of 2.2 GPM is equal to:
2.2 GPM * 3785.41 mL/gallon / 60 seconds/minute = 138.80 mL/s.
Therefore, a standard tap water faucet will likely fill a container at a rate between approximately 63 and 139 mL per second.

drinking,

Indoor tap water is distributed through “indoor plumbing”, which has existed since antiquity but was available to very few people until the second half of the 19th century when it began to spread in popularity in what are now developed countries.
Tap water became common in many regions during the 20th century, and is now lacking mainly among people in poverty, especially in developing countries.
Tap water is often culturally assumed to be drinking water, especially in developed countries.
Usually it is potable, although water quality problems are not rare.
Household water purification methods such as water filters, boiling, or distillation can be used when tap water’s potability is doubted.
The application of technologies (such as water treatment plants) involved in providing clean water to homes, businesses, and public buildings is a major subfield of sanitary engineering.

(calling a water supply “tap water” distinguishes it from the other main types of ‘fresh water’ which may be available…)
(these include…)
*water from ‘rainwater-collecting cisterns’*
*water from ‘village pumps’ or ‘town pumps’*
*water from ‘wells’*
*water carried from [‘streams’ / ‘rivers’ / ‘lakes’]*
(whose ‘potability’ may vary)
.
(in NYC, landlords are required to supply running water as a component of ‘rent’)

(‘indoor plumbing’ has existed since ‘antiquity’)
(it was available to very few until the second half of 19th century)

(NYC tap water is highly rated)

water impurities:
(‘lead’ + ‘copper’ from ‘water pipes’)

(“tap water” (running water, city water, town water, municipal water, etc.) is water supplied to a ‘tap’ (‘valve’))

)so meet me there izl good…)
just like i knew that you would…)
