Is it safe to drink tap water in Morocco?

I just spent 16 days in Morocco and even though I did read the answers here before I went, I did drink the tap water in the big cities (Tangiers, Fez, Marrakech, Casablanca) from the first day and did not get sick at all.

But I have a long history of travelling and not getting sick, so you should not take me as a typical European.

If you are on a short holiday, stick with bottled water, but if you know you have a strong stomach, go ahead drink the tap water and then down-vote me after you get sick.

I always asked the locals whether they drink it, and if so I did as well.

One should not drink tap water in Morocco – it is due to different bacteria. The same applies to mountain springs.
You should boil it or treat with tablets before drinking.
It may be also advisable to clean your teeth using bottled or treated water to avoid the risk of swallowing.

I would be cautious. So as to stay in peace with Montezuma, I would refrain from drinking tap water in Morocco.
