Dear toons, bring your own bottle of water with you to restaurants.
Here are my options:
1. I boil a pot of tap water at home for 10+ minutes, pour some in glass bottles and save the rest for washing vegetables and fruits to be eaten without cooking.
2. I use LifeStraw pitcher that filters tap water. I use it for drinking and herbal tea. I bought the 10 cup pitcher so I refill it every other day.
3. Bottled spring water, is supposed to have very little mycobacteria, if any. I bring one with me in the car and into a restaurant. There is no issue with bringing it to any restaurant.
In my bathroom, I have AquaMed filters for the shower and sink.
I hope you find a way that works for you.
Best of luck.

Have you found anything other than bottled spring water to get in a restaurant. Do you ever order a soda?

I also use the LifeStraw Pitcher but you don't boil your water before putting it in pitcher do you? From my understanding I can use tap water and the LifeStraw will filter it. I had once read where Fiju and Smart Water were safe to drink but then recently someone posted they were not. The spring water sounds like a good alternative. Let me know if you have any more tips because it is so helpful since I just started the Big 3.
