Safe Hydration for Every Traveler
The Mission; Travel is about exploration, culture, and adventure—not worrying about what is in your glass. At CanIDrinkTapWater.com, our goal is simple: to answer the most common travel question instantly and accurately. By providing clear “Yes/No” safety ratings, we help travellers stay healthy and avoid the dreaded “traveler’s tummy.”
Sustainability First Beyond health, we are committed to reducing global plastic waste. Every time a traveler feels confident refilling their reusable bottle instead of buying single-use plastic, we count that as a win for the planet.
How We Gather Data
We are a data aggregation platform, not a testing laboratory. To ensure accuracy, we compile information from three primary pillars:
- Official Government Reports: We analyze annual water quality reports released by local municipalities.
- International Health Advisories: We cross-reference data with the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) and WHO (World Health Organization) travel advisories.
- Community Feedback: We monitor traveler reports regarding taste, smell, and infrastructure conditions in older buildings.
Why We Recommend Gear
Even when water is technically “safe” (bacteria-free), it may still taste heavily of chlorine or contain mineral sediment from old pipes.
We research and recommend specific gear—from simple carbon filter bottles for “Safe but Bad Tasting” cities, to military-grade purifiers for “Unsafe” destinations. Our recommendations are unbiased and based on the specific water profile of the destination.
