What makes our water so good?

The Source

• Banff’s drinking water comes from deep underground wells. Alberta Environment rates Banff's tap water as "High Quality Groundwater" 
  

Our Safety Standards

• Banff water is disinfected with chlorine as it is pumped from the wells into a reservoir located on Tunnel Mountain.  Town staff tests the water daily to ensure the water is safe for public consumption.  Banff’s drinking water consistently meets all standards set by the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality. 

In Banff, you can simply turn on the tap and enjoy a delicious glass of water anytime.
