What do you mean by viable?
Like as really expensive bottled water that costs tens of thousands a bottle for the wealthy? That would be a kind of interesting premium product, I suppose. There are already some pretty silly premium waters out there.

How do you know this? Have you concluded through logical reasoning that it's highly improbable that there is no microbial life on Mars (considering the existence of liquid water on Mars, and the ability of Terran microbes to live within a vast variety of seemingly hostile environments, so long as they have water)?
Have you also come across observational confirmation of the microbes' existence, or only the former? I'm guessing you don't have the latter, but if you do then I'd be happy to have you share it with us.

There is microbial life on Mars because of the bacteria that our probes carried with them. Try as we might, we couldn't completely sterilize them.
