| My Drinking Water |
 Everyone in Saskatchewan needs a good supply of safe, clean drinking
water. Municipalities own, and are responsible,
for municipal drinking water facilities and their operation. Water sample
submissions are required for testing.
There are several responsible water management agencies in
Saskatchewan. Please refer to this
listing
to determine which agency you should be contacting.
Due
to the time required to submit water testing results into My Drinking
Water database, the information contained in the tables may be behind
actual submission dates made by waterworks.
Effective
April 2008, Current Sampling
Requirements (most recent data for the current monitoring
requirements in place) and Historical Sampling Requirements
(historical data for the old monitoring requirements) are found in
separate listings. Printable report features are also available in
the Advanced Search area.

Hygienic Use Systems provide water to
be used for hygienic purposes by humans, (including bathing, showering,
personal hygiene but not including swimming). Hygienic use must not
include a human consumptive use (drinking, oral hygiene and food
preparation making ice cubes, etc). Water provided for hygienic use
(where permitted) must be provided by a system approved by Saskatchewan
Ministry of Environment and that system must be maintained in accordance with the
regulations by the permittee of the works.
