Yes! Alpe d'Huez is a proper town with decent water treatment. The water can sometimes taste a bit metallic due to the high mineral content and during the melting periods some people prefer to switch to bottled water just in case the treatment plants are over-capacity. Generally though the water in the Alps is, on the whole, wonderful mountain spring water and Alpe d'Huez is no exception. It is perfectly safe to drink and tastes even better than the water at home!
