Tap water - if it's pure - should be neutral. However - water companies add various chemicals (such as fluoride) in the cleaning process which changes the pH level slightly towards the acidic side of the scale.
Tap water is ever so slightly basic. Hello, I have had two chemistry classes and in each class we tested the pH of tap water and it is slightly acidic, which my prof. said was true. I tested my tap water with pH paper, it was approximately 6.75 which is slightly acidic. Remember that tap water is not natural, it is a product of a water treatment plant.
A substance that is neither acidic nor basic is considered neutral. Water at room temperature is an example of a neutral substance, as it has a pH of 7.
The pH of tap water can vary depending on the location and source of the water. On average, tap water has a pH level around 7, which is considered neutral. However, it can range from slightly acidic (below 7) to slightly alkaline (above 7).
Tap water would stay colorless with phenolphthalein since it is a neutral pH indicator and only changes color in either acidic or basic solutions.

It is practically slowly acidic
The acidity of pure water is neutral. Most tap water tends to be alkaline or basic. In moer technical terms the pH of water is 7 which is neutral. The lower the pH the more acidic and the higher the pH the more basic or alkaline. If you want a life application of pH, the pH of human blood is about 7.34.
Substances like acids (e.g. lemon juice) can lower the pH level of tap water, making it more acidic. Conversely, substances like baking soda can raise the pH level of tap water, making it more alkaline. The pH level of tap water can be altered by adding these substances in small quantities.

The green color on litmus paper with tap water typically indicates a neutral pH level. The tap water may have a pH close to 7, resulting in the green color change. This means the water is neither acidic nor basic.

yes, almost positive.There is no pure water. The water is either ACIDIC or NEUTRAL or ALKALINE.For us the human beings NEUTRAL is good.

Tap water is only slightly acidic
Phenolphthalein is colorless in tap water, as tap water is typically neutral to slightly acidic. It only turns pink in basic solutions with a pH above 8.2.
