Salts
Fresh water has salinity of 2000 ppm or less of NaCl and other compunds
Distilled water has none
Salts are ionic compounds. So, they are a good conductors

in faucet water their are very small quantities of salt.. and different minerals..i advise truly tiny ammounts.. having suggested that the quantity of salts in faucet water is greater desirable than the quantity in mineral water... it is why faucet water has larger conductivity.. heres an test to try this take some organic water and attempt its conductvity with a galvonometer or something like that.. then take some water and dissolve some salt in it.. attempt this water besides. you will locate that the water which has the dissolved salt might have larger conductivity

ANY kind of water that isn't pure H2O,tap or otherwise,will have impurities that will conduct electricity.
Most municipalities add flouride and chlorine to their water.
Well water has natural minerals that will also conduct a current.

these days tap water has Chlorine added to it and since clhlorine usually exists as an ion it will conduct electrisity

A variety of disolved minerals. The composition varies according to the source. Minerals are sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride & sulfate mostly. (obviously you can't have significant Ca or Mg with significant SO4).

salts
dun forget that salts contain sodium!
and sodium is a metal!
and metals conduct electricity!
there u go.
