(UK, slang) tap water.
British slang, often used with dry humor, for tap water — the stuff that comes free from the council (local government) pipes. The joke is in the contrast: 'pop' (British for fizzy drink or any beverage) elevated to something worth naming, when really it's just what comes out of the tap. Ordering 'council pop' at a pub or restaurant is a classically British way of asking for water without seeming pretentious about it, while also gently mocking the affectation of paying for bottled water.
