potable water refers to the type of water which is dirt free and can be consumed without any hesitations.(some types of potable water do need to go through precautionary measures like boiling)

Potable means 'safe to consume'. So, in this case it means water which is fit for consumption, safe to drink.

Water, which is free from microorganisms likely to cause disease and also free from chemical constituents, which may impair health, is classified as “Potable Water.”

Portable water means it's safe to carry around on your back like a camel. I like this kind best, refreshing.
