Drinking Water Use
Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-008580
If a waterbody is assessed for Drinking Water use this means that the raw water was assessed pre-treatment and should not be consumed until after it is treated through a drinking water provider. The assessment was made for the waterbody to potentially be used as a future source of drinking water after treatment. In short, do not drink the water directly from the source. To get more information on each individual use for the waterbody, refer to the waterbody report page.
