Potable
<poh-tah-bul>
edible; safe; clean;
something untainted that is suitable for drinking.
The lake was a source of potable clear water. We did not need plumbing.
Memory trick:
potable reminds of pot-able.
It's good enough to put in a pot.
At work:
The water cooler is potable and the snacks are healthy. It is a great break room.
