If you are on rain (tank) water - why buy town water full of chemicals.
I have found my son and most of us get a rash from water when it does not rain enough and we have to cart it from the town supply.
We recommend for people on town water to boil it before cleaning their new piercings because we found that it was causing infections and boiled water was far better for teh healing process and reduced the rate of infection.
 
However, it would be preferable to dam water as far as that goes.  But if you have clean fresh rainwater then that would be drinkable and lovely and natural.

Pete,
 
I my opinion i would want the water to be at a "drinking" quality at least!
This would require boiling and filtering to remove bacteria and infectious substances especially in the case of a tear.
Your water would have to be "pre-prepared" comming up to the time of delivery and held in a storage tank as the process of boiling and filtering would take a great deal of time and effort.
 
I am on tank water also and in preparation for our birth we purchased a tanker of water (10,000 litres for $60),.. I still heated this water and filtered it through our normal house system.
 
All the best,
 
Darren
