Depending on the district, Parisians benefit from a mixture of groundwater and potable river water. Whatever its source, the water that comes out of our taps, "Paris water", is of excellent quality throughout the City of Light. The water we distribute is subject to rigorous, ongoing monitoring, and is fully traceable. Paris water complies with the 56 potability parameters defined by the French Public Health Code and European standards, which represent the highest level of sanitary quality in the world. It poses no risk to the health of any person who consumes it throughout his or her life. Every year, more than a million quality measurements are carried out to ensure the irreproachable quality of the water supplied to Parisians' taps.
