WHAT IS POTABLE WATER?
Often, people are not aware of what potable water exactly is. Potable water, also referred to as drinking water, is extracted from surface and ground sources. It is then treated to meet the standards of safe consumption set by the relevant guidelines. In our case, we ensure that we adhere to the standards set by Alberta Health Services.
Potable water is treated to remove toxic chemicals, microorganisms, bacteria, viruses and other unwanted substances. This makes it safe for human consumption. Water containing these unwanted elements can cause diseases and ill effects on the human body.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POTABLE AND REGULAR WATER?
In simple terms, potable water is water that has the assurance that it is safe to consume because of the treatment that it undergoes. On the other hand, non-potable water might generally not be healthy to drink because it doesn't have the confirmation of being treated. As you might be aware, when it comes to water consumption, it is better to be safe than sorry. Water that hasn't been treated can contain toxic elements that can cause severe intestinal diseases.
Water that comes straight from lakes, streams, rivers and other natural water bodies is not treated. Not only that, but there are chances that it might contain toxic chemicals from industrial and agricultural operations that could seriously harm the health of those who consume it. For this reason, you must ensure that your water is potable.
