Well since it’s annoying for both the waiter and the customer to have to ask/precise every time if it’s bottled or tap, I just always say it directly, and I’ve seen other people do it
While abroad, I once asked many years ago for water in a restaurant and ended up with a 8$ 1L bottle, I’m not making that mistake again

I went to a restaurant in Dallas near the stadiums where asking for “water, please” got us a glass bottle of whatever rich-people water they served.
Everything was expensive and the food was super whatever. It’s called Soy Cowboy, if anybody’s curious.
