OR....water from the tap could be in your hose and lying quietly in a warm place breeding little organisms. Is it JUST for a few seconds when you turn it on and could be water that was lying (laying?) around getting germy?
Big difference between irrigation and water from the hose bib, which is what the OP asked about. Gracie is correct, don't ever drink from your irrigation system, not really sure how you would accomplish that , but from the hose bib, it's potable.
