Reading this page
Campbellton's most recent drinking water sample (2026-07-22) reports hardness of 106 mg/L, classified as moderately hard, and pH 7.9, drawn from a mixed water source and treated at Campbellton Water Treatment Plant. Lead measured 0.2 μg/L and fluoride 0.7 mg/L.
Free chlorine measured 0.7 mg/L in this sample. No E. coli was detected in this sample.
Campbellton's hardness of 106 mg/L is below the New Brunswick average of 155 mg/L across 7 tracked municipalities, with a provincial average pH of 7.7.
These readings summarize a single compliance snapshot, not a certification of the water reaching your tap. Test your own water periodically, especially on a private well, and consider a softener if hardness is classified hard or very hard.
How to use this page: read the headline metrics first, then where the water comes from (map and tap story), then the parameter table and source footer.
Health parameters meet Health Canada limits; turbidity above the 1 NTU typical target.
Health parameters meet Health Canada limits; turbidity exceeds the typical 1 NTU aesthetic target.
