Water that is safe and fit for human consumption is best described as :
Potable water
Potable water is water that meets the quality standards required to be safe for drinking and other domestic use, being free of harmful contaminants, pathogens, and excess dissolved substances.
Distilled water, though pure, lacks essential minerals and is not the standard term for safe drinking water; saline water contains high salt content and is unfit for consumption; hard water contains excess calcium and magnesium salts and is not defined by safety for drinking.
Therefore, water safe and fit for human consumption is best described as potable water.
