Is Casablanca Tap Water Safe To Drink?
Yes! The tap water is safe to drink.
Casablanca’s municipal tap water is treated and considered safe to drink under Moroccan drinking-water standards. A noticeable chlorine taste can occur and does not by itself mean the water is unsafe.
Water quality can be affected by poorly maintained building storage tanks or old plumbing. In those buildings, the water may be less reliable than the municipal supply.

Source of Water in Casablanca, Morocco
Casablanca’s tap water comes mainly from surface water stored in dams in the Bouregreg and Oum Er-Rbia river basins. Key reservoirs include Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah Dam and Al Massira Dam.
The Sebou-to-Bouregreg water transfer can also add water to the Bouregreg system. The water is treated before it enters Casablanca’s distribution network.
Casablanca Drinking Fountains
Casablanca’s municipal water is treated and supplied to meet drinking-water standards. However, the safety of a public fountain also depends on its upkeep and the condition of its plumbing.
Use fountains that are clearly maintained and operating properly. If a fountain looks dirty, damaged, or poorly maintained, choose sealed bottled water instead.
