Can I use tap water and hose water for my ducks?

Vulcan Villarrica is 5 k away from me and it is active.

You mean it can erupt any time

Technically\Geologically it is erupting.
It smokes and releases gas all day\night long.
Here is a video of the eruption from 2015. I am 5 kilometres away and outside of the evacuation zone.
It's right out my back door. lol

Just curious, How can you be that close and out of the evacuation area? Looks a little to close for comfort for me.

I'm waiting for an 8.3 earthquake or as they are jokingly known on this board Earthquacks.

Waiting for a 8.3 Quake? Mother Nature will be your moving company whether you are ready or not !

My sister and I used to drink straight from the pump in our folks' backyard. Years later, we learned it was "not fit for human consumption." May explain a lot about us.

Well, that explains the good parts.

Also drank from the well. Still do. Out of a hose. Should get it tested for the benefit of others, but I'm confident in its quality. I'm 300' + into one of the best aquifers in FL and a LONG LONG way from the coast. (well, "long way" by FL standards)

The water may be safe, what about the hose?

I live in an RV while the house is being constructed. No lead in any of the fittings - I plumbed it myself using PEX, and the hoses are rated for potable water, thank you for your concern. Yes, I know PEX isn't perfect - nothing is - but its better than copper with sweated fittings, particularly in my acidic semi-clay soils.

Even were it not, dosage is low, I know my chances, and am prepared for the outcome when I roll my dice. This table I'm seated at is the only game in town, and no one gets out alive - so I'm going to *sensibly* *reasonably* enjoy my time in the seat.
