The answer to this question depends a bit on which posture you take. You see, ordinary tap water usually contains small amounts of salts, like sodium chloride (table salt) and sodium carbonate, and a bit of chlorine. All of these substances, and in fact the water itself, can be toxic if consumed in excessive quantities. Now that's one posture. However, as most people don't tend to consume ten gallons of water or a whole pool's worth of chlorine in a couple of minutes, we can assume a second posture in which we should only consider substances which are toxic even in small amounts. These are most often metals, like Mercury, lead or arsenic; or wastes, like feces or even industrial waste. However, substances like these aren't usually found in filtered tap water, so not all water is toxic. Therefore, the answer to your question can be yes, according to the first posture; or no, according to the second posture.
