The Town of Smiths Falls wishes to reassure residents that the community's drinking water is safe and continues to meet all provincial drinking water standards. The Town remains committed to transparency and providing residents with accurate information regarding local water quality. This message is consistent with the Town's previous public updates (September 19, 2025, October 2, 2025) affirming the safety of the municipal drinking water supply.

We understand that residents care deeply about the safety of their drinking water.
