Yeah... This is most definetly false.

Potable water isnwater thatbhas been treated so that microbiales that can cause diseases such as Dysentery or Cholera are not present. It is a clean and safe water to drink.

Nonpoteable water is just the opposite. It is not safe to drink because can contain any number of potentially fatal diseases.

potable water is fresh water that you drink every day (hopefully). It's been filtered and cleaned.

non-potable includes rainwater and recycled water which is not cleaned.

so the answer is false
