An apparatus for supplying drinking water has a construction such that a first branch pipe (P 2 ) and a second branch pipe (P 3 ) are connected to a water supply pipe (P 1 ) in which tap water flows, a cold water generating tank ( 3 ) is provided in the first branch pipe (P 2 ), and the second branch pipe (P 3 ) is provided with an ion exchange device ( 4 ) and a hot water generating tank ( 5 ). When the tap water is allowed to flow in the first branch pipe (P 2 ), cold water is generated in the cold water generating tank ( 3 ). Also, when the tap water is allowed to flow in the second branch pipe (P 3 ), the tap water is softened by the ion exchange device ( 4 ), and is further heated in the hot water generating tank ( 5 ). Therefore, not only cold water can be supplied but also hot water from which mineral components are removed can be supplied.
