According to the article attached with the link below, I am under the impression that as long as there aren't many additives in your tap water, find out by calling your local water authority, and as long as you dechlorinate it, it is fine. One method, mentioned in this article, states that if you leave your tap water in an open container for 24 hours, it will naturally dechlorinate and be healthy for your amphibious friends.
