The quality of tap water in the UK is generally high and safe to drink. However, some regions may have better-tasting water than others due to differences in the water source and treatment processes.
According to a 2020 survey by the consumer group Which?, the areas with the best-tasting tap water in the UK are:
- Severn Trent
- Dee Valley
- South Staffordshire
- Welsh Water
- Anglian Water
It’s important to note that taste is subjective, and what one person finds pleasant, another might not. However, all tap water in the UK must meet strict safety standards set by the Drinking Water Inspectorate, which monitors and regulates the quality of drinking water in the UK.
