In a pinch, that's drinkable. But I understand it's generally not
recommended for consumption, as water heaters have plenty of soldering with
heavy metals. If the water pressure dies, some would have trouble figuring
out where to get that water (of course, some people in this day and age
don't know where their water heater is). According to Latah County
Disaster Services, water pressure shouldn't be a problem, though.
