I haven't heard of any formal studies on this.

But I know the ED in CMC vellore was using tap water to wash
grossly contaminated wounds and their microbiology dept showed no
increase in infection rates compared to normal saline.

If you plan to use tap water, I think you need to go see where it is
coming from (The tanks must not be full of algae and arthropods!)
