Glass of the Sask

From the river to your table 

Just like the food, the tap water served at these restaurants is high quality and great tasting. Edmonton’s drinking water comes from the North Saskatchewan River, which is born in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The final product is treated for up to 12 hours at one of our water treatment plants before being delivered to over one million taps in Edmonton and surrounding communities.

As water experts and enthusiasts, we're pretty proud of our safe, healthy and great-tasting drinking water and the beautiful river it comes from.
