Drinking Water Safety

Is it safe to drink tap water in Guadalajara? Yes

Water Drinkable Score: 70/100

The tap water in Guadalajara comes primarily from the Chapala Lake as well as underground aquifers. Although the water undergoes treatment to meet safety standards, residents often use additional filtration for drinking due to taste and mineral content concerns. Over the years, efforts have been made to reduce contamination levels. The Comisión Estatal del Agua de Jalisco is responsible for overseeing water quality, while SIAPA (Sistema Intermunicipal de los Servicios de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado) handles distribution.
