No water is entirely pure. Most water has minor impurities like dissolved salts of sodium and calcium; tap water in most countries has additional chlorides and fluorides to help kill off bacteria in the water. Some countries deliberately add forms of medication, e.g. in the UK, flouride is added to help contain dental caries (tooth decay). This is in addition to any chemicals needed to make water drinkable. My original answer, which was substantially correct, was removed - why? I am told by Wikianswers that it is polite to add to answers or comment on them, not delete them.
Tap water is not a pure substance. Water has particles in it. Some tap water also contains fluoride. Distilled water has all of the particles taken out of it and is considered pure water.
Unfiltered tap water is a pure substance
Tap water is a homogeneous mixture, which means it has a uniform composition throughout. It is a mixture of water molecules along with dissolved minerals, gases, and other compounds, but these components are evenly distributed.
Tap water is a mixture because it contains various substances dissolved or suspended in it, such as minerals, gases, and other compounds. It is not a pure chemical substance because it is composed of multiple components.
No. There is no glucose in tap water. This would cause a major health concern as the glucose would be a food source for bacteria. The water would have a bad smell, colour, cloudiness and taste.
it says on the internet that tap water is pure so tap water is pure i hope that answers your question!

tap water is a pure compound.
Normal tap water can be considered as fairly pure and homogeneous; only ultrapure water is correctly pure. Sometimes tap water may contain insoluble impurities.
Tap water is not a pure substance. Water has particles in it. Some tap water also contains fluoride. Distilled water has all of the particles taken out of it and is considered pure water.
Tap water is a mixture of water (H2O) and minerals used to purify it.
No. Water is water.
No, it has chlorine in it, and sometimes fluoride, as well.
Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity because of the lack of ions. You need ions (electrically charged particles) to propagate the charge through the water. Both tap and pure water are poor conductors of heat.
Boiled municipal tap water
Unfiltered tap water is a pure substance
Actually tap water is more regulated and pure than bottled water
