[CP2K-user] [CP2K:18026] dipole moment of optimized water

Making the box size very large (whether periodic cell or non-periodic), 
converges the dipole moment of water that is ~1.957 D using PBE/TZV2P-GTH 
method/basis set. Also, I did just single point calculation on the 
optimized water, that also match ~1.96 D water dipole moment.
Is this fine doing these methods to find gas phase water dipole moment?
Thank You very much.

Sincerely,
Rajendra Maharjan
