Tap water contains dissolved impurities, so as the water in the battery evaporates the solids do not and sink to the bottom forming a sediment. As this sediment builds up it reduces the surface area of the plate and reduces the effectiveness of the battery, shortening it's life.
It would be OK to use tap water occasionally but I wouldn't use all the time.
Having said that, it also depends on the quality of the tap water. IMO, filtered tap water would be perfectly fine.
