August 2025 is a good week to revisit Kitchener's source: Groundwater aquifers (Waterloo Moraine and other regional wellfields) and Grand River. Treatment at Regional wellfields and associated treatment sites (e.g. Greenbrook and other IUS wells) sits between the intake and the tap.

More than 100 municipal wells across the region supply the majority of drinking water; many sites use iron/manganese treatment and chlorination before entry to the urban system.

See the Kitchener water page for the grade, source notes, and municipal report links.
