Yes they can as water doesnt come free neither does service also they have to wash your glass in water and detergent which also costs them.

some restaurants do and some dont. i know a couple of places that charge 20c for a glass of tap water yet other places will give you a carafe of water and couple of glasses for no charge.

They have to pay for their water so you have to pay if you want some of it.
