Residents in Northeast Ontario are informed about the latest update regarding hard water in the region. Health Canada has stated that drinking hard water is safe and does not pose any health risks. The presence of calcium and magnesium in hard water can contribute to the recommended daily intake of these essential minerals.

The Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality do not establish limits for water hardness, as it is considered more of an aesthetic and operational concern rather than a health issue. Residents are encouraged to consider these factors when assessing their water quality.
