Almost certainly, but do you really want to drink water that has been

FFS, how often do people have to be told the tank should have an approved
cover and venting to prevent this?

It's not just drinking the stuff. If you shower or have a bath, there's a
good chance you'll get some of that water in your mouth and eyes, etc. So
it should be to a decent standard - not from the graveyard of assorted
species through your neglect.
