Accessible solutions for healthier, cleaner water
In Granby, as elsewhere in Quebec, most households and businesses rely on municipal tap water. This water is treated to remove bacteria and meet public health standards. However, despite this treatment, many residents notice inconveniences: strong chlorine taste, unpleasant odors, or even limescale buildup. These common issues are not inevitable. Solutions exist to improve tap water quality while protecting health, comfort, and home installations.
Do you really know what’s in your tap water?
Municipal tap water is safe, but not free of undesirable substances. Chlorine, for example, is added to kill microorganisms. Yet its taste and odor can be unpleasant in daily life.
In Granby, many families notice that tap water sometimes smells strongly, especially in summer when consumption rises. Others report limescale stains that damage faucets and hinder appliance performance. These realities highlight the importance of understanding what’s really in the water we drink and use every day.
Chlorine: necessary but inconvenient
Chlorine protects against microbiological risks, but it leaves an aftertaste that often discourages people from drinking tap water. Over time, this unpleasant flavor drives families toward bottled water, raising both expenses and environmental impact.
What’s more, chlorine does not remove all chemical contaminants. Substances like PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), found in several regions of Quebec, can remain in treated water. These molecules are highly resistant and linked to health risks. Specialized filters are therefore essential to ensure better water quality.
Other contaminants to watch for
Beyond chlorine, other contaminants may be present in small amounts in municipal water:
- Lead and mercury, often from aging pipes
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sometimes from industrial discharges
- Limescale, which causes hard water, clogs plumbing, and reduces appliance lifespan
- Drug residues, which treatment plants cannot always fully eliminate
Even when these substances comply with legal standards, their accumulation in the body—or their effects on household equipment—leads many families to consider more complete filtration.
