What residents and travelers say

In Lodz, water quality and taste experiences can vary by neighborhood and building infrastructure. Many locals report that tap water generally meets safety standards and is safe to drink, aligning with guidelines set by the Polish Ministry of Health and monitored by MPWiK Lodz. However, taste and mineral content can differ depending on the water source and the age of plumbing in certain older apartment blocks. Some residents notice a slightly chlorinated or metallic taste, which often prompts the use of water filters or bottled water, especially in buildings with older pipes.

Travelers visiting Lodz sometimes find tap water acceptable for brushing teeth and cooking but prefer bottled water for drinking due to taste preferences or unfamiliarity. Several locals mention routinely using carbonation or filter pitchers at home to improve flavor and clarity. There is no widespread concern about water safety, but some variability occurs at the building level, especially in less modernized parts of the city.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information on water safety and quality in Lodz, consult official sources such as the MPWiK Lodz website, their official Twitter, or guidelines from the World Health Organization and the European Union Water Quality Standards.
