If you have a glass jar or picture.
Filled with water.
Can you get bacteria growth on it?
How soon will it happen?
Will a simple dish wacher remove the bacteria?

yes, but if it is just water from the tap I really wouldn't worry about it. In most areas City water is the same quality as bottled water, so by filling up a picture of water you are saving yourself money and the environment because of all of the plastic bottles you would use if you drank bottled water.
If you don't put anything else in the pitcher and it was clean before you put anything in there than you should be fine.
The problem with water is that if it just *sits* it becomes stagnent and thats where the bacteria comes from. If you do see something like mold, wash it out with bleach, then wash it 3-4 times with soap and water to make sure all the bleach and mold is out

The pitcher itself would not get a significan amount of bacteria on it just by filling it with water. After a couple days you probably shouldnt drink the water though.
And yes, washing with soap or a dishwasher would remove the bacteria.
