Same issue in Pakistan, it's a very watery place in comparison to say, Europe or Southern USA, but you have hard time finding a place with reliable tap water:

1. Water theft from utilities

2. Gigantic and wasteful usage of water in agriculture

3. Leaky pipes and contamination from sewage

4. Utilities are just starting to recover from decades of extreme mismanagement

5. Tanker mafia of course doing its worst to keep all of above going
