Baby question help!!!!?

So I am watching my 6 month old nephew, and my Husband took the car to work so I have no way of getting to a store, and I don't have his stroller to walk the 2 miles. My question is can I use water from the sink? I have not gotten my refrigerator water system set up yet so I have no form of filtered water. Can I use the sink water if I boil it and put it in the refrigerator to get cold. His next bottle time is not until 11 and I need to know. I have had my nephew for 5 days since his mom has had a really bad fever and didn't want him to get sick. Also my mom is at work and the water bottles she has in her car trunk I can't ask her to bring because she can't get out of work.

    You can use bottles from the sink, and you do not have boil the water first. You just use warm (not too hot, not cold) to make the bottles. As long as you do not have well water, the baby will be fine.

    Water from the sink is fine as long as it isn't contaminated. If you have well water I would suggest boiling it first.

    If you get your water from a safe, reliable municipal supply, tap water is fine. You dont' even have to boil it. If you're unsure of the safety, then boil and let cool.
