About Tap Water Database

What is TWD?

TWD (Tap Water Database) is designed as a reference and informational tool. It presents reported water quality data in a clear and accessible format to support general understanding of tap water testing results. TWD provides public access to tap water quality information across Canada. The Database aggregates and displays publicly available water testing data to allow users to explore reported contaminant levels by location.

How to Use the Map

Click on any city marker, or use the search bar to find specific cities, to explore available water quality data, reported contaminant levels, and source reports.

City markers are colour-coded for visual reference only, based on how reported contaminant values compare to selected reference benchmarks.

How to Interpret Color Indicators

Important: Colour indicators are not safety determinations, do not indicate regulatory compliance or non-compliance, and should not be interpreted as health advice.
