Drinking Water Ontario

Welcome to Drinking Water Ontario—an information and resource hub dedicated to our province’s drinking water.

We all rely on safe drinking water in our homes, schools and offices, and throughout our communities. It is vital to our health and quality of life.

Ontario has strict laws in place to keep our drinking water safe and clean. People throughout the province work hard to ensure that their protection efforts comply with these laws and meet high quality standards.

Explore Drinking Water Ontario to learn how our water is protected—every step of the way—as it travels from our lakes, rivers, streams and aquifers to the taps we turn on every day.

If you play a regulatory role in protecting our drinking water, use Drinking Water Ontario to learn what you must do to fulfill your responsibilities and maintain the high quality of our tap water.
