How can I purify non-drinkable water that may have had organisms in it?

+0
−0

I am currently living in the Galápagos Islands. They have no drinking tap water, and the water they provide is not recommended to drink. I got an acute gastroenteritis from it. Here they told me it is an amoeba but didn't specify which. I've been sick for over a week and I'm desperate about the water situation.

I just want a clear answer on what to do to be able to drink the water.

Is boiling non-drinkable water enough?
