Annual report on the quality of drinking water

The Règlement québécois sur la qualité de l’eau potable provides Quebecers with quality drinking water.

Municipal, private, institutional and tourist networks serving drinking water to more than 20 people are subject to drinking water quality control and must produce a drinking water quality report every year for the period from January 1st to December 31st of the previous year.
