Where it starts
Surface water
Research confidence: high
Named source waters
- Saint Lawrence River
- Chaudière River
Treatment plants
Usine de production Lévis (secteur Desjardins)
Draws from the Saint Lawrence River; multi-barrier treatment including filtration, ozonation, UV, and chlorination.
Usine de production Saint-Romuald
Saint Lawrence intake serving the Saint-Romuald distribution sector.
Usine de production Charny
Draws from the Chaudière River for western Lévis communities (Charny, Saint-Nicolas, Saint-Rédempteur, Breakeyville, Saint-Étienne-de-Lauzon).
How it reaches your street
Three production plants feed sectorized distribution networks; the city has been interconnecting plants so one can backstop another during source emergencies.

Reading this page
Levis's most recent drinking water sample (2026-07-22) reports hardness of 120 mg/L, classified as hard, and pH 6.8, drawn from a surface water source and treated at Levis Water Treatment Plant. Lead measured 0 μg/L and fluoride 0.5 mg/L.
Free chlorine measured 0.5 mg/L in this sample. No E. coli was detected in this sample.
Levis's hardness of 120 mg/L is below the Quebec average of 183 mg/L across 34 tracked municipalities, with a provincial average pH of 7.5.
These readings summarize a single compliance snapshot, not a certification of the water reaching your tap. Test your own water periodically, especially on a private well, and consider a softener if hardness is classified hard or very hard.
How to use this page: read the headline metrics first, then where the water comes from (map and tap story), then the parameter table and source footer.
All monitored parameters meet Health Canada guidelines.
All health parameters meet Health Canada guidelines with comfortable pH, hardness, and turbidity.
