Water problems

Water can change colour, smell, and taste. Got doubts about the quality of your water?

  • If you are connected to a municipal water supply, contact the municipality or waterworks operator.
  • If you are connected to a private well, contact your local municipality, a local well specialist, or a laboratory accredited by Ministère de l’Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques at 1-800-561-1616 or visit ceaeq.gouv.qc.ca/accreditation/ PALA/lla03.htm (in French only).

As a last resort, you can contact the regional office of the Ministère de l’Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques or your regional public health department.
