Quality
|
| Can legally contain many things we would not tolerate in municipal drinking water. Only those that are labelled "spring" or "mineral" are subject to higher quality standards. |
Our tap water continues to exceed the standards as regulated by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation & Parks (MECP) and as proposed by Health Canada. |
Regulations
|
| In Canada, the Food and Drug Act requires bottled water to meet micro-biological standards, which are meant to ensure they're safe to consume. |
Tap water goes through a rigorous process of cleaning, filtering and testing. |
