Lonely Planet

Tap water in Aruba is safe to drink.

Safe nationally still means ask locally. Older buildings can carry lead or copper pipework, and a single street can differ from the network feeding it. If you are staying somewhere old, ask your host.

What bottled water costs you here

Drinking tap water instead of bottled would save one adult about 1460$ a year in Aruba, and keep several hundred plastic bottles out of circulation.
