What residents and travelers say

Experiences with tap water in Naucalpan vary significantly depending on the neighborhood and building infrastructure. Many locals and visitors report that the taste of tap water can range from neutral to slightly chlorinated or mineral-heavy. Some attribute this to the varied sources supplying the municipality. While it is technically treated and often meets safety standards, many residents prefer using filtration systems, particularly carbon or reverse osmosis filters, to improve taste and odor before consumption.

In several apartment complexes and newer developments, water quality seems more consistent, leading some residents to drink directly from the tap or after minimal filtration. However, in older buildings or certain neighborhoods, users often resort to bottled water or use water dispensers, reflecting concerns about intermittent water quality fluctuations and the presence of residual chlorine or metallic aftertastes. Travelers usually follow cautionary advice and opt for bottled or filtered water during their stays.

For the most reliable and up-to-date information on water quality and safety standards, visitors and residents should consult official sources such as the SACEM Official Website and periodic updates shared by the SACEM Twitter. Additionally, health guidelines outlined by the Secretaría de Salud and the Norma Oficial Mexicana NOM-127-SSA1-1994 provide comprehensive standards for potable water safety in Mexico, which apply to Naucalpan as well.
