Our water is regularly tested and meets or exceeds provincial and national guidelines.
Every day, we collect a number of water samples from over 70 dedicated water sample ports throughout the distribution system to ensure your water is safe to drink.
For detailed water quality results on your drinking water, the provincial government tests and reports on community water quality and other information on provincial water supplies.
If you have a concern about the water quality at your property, contact Access St. John's to report it.

People do not need to treat the drinking water supplied by the City of St. John's to make it safe, but some people still want that extra reassurance. If you buy a home water treatment unit, read the product information carefully. Make sure you understand what you are buying. Be certain to follow the manufacturer's instructions for operation and maintenance such as changing the filter on a regular basis.
The City of St. John's does not endorse or recommend specific home water treatment units.
No single unit takes out every kind of drinking water contaminant. You must decide which type best meets your needs.
