Can you drink tap water in Rabat Morocco? The answer to this question is no. The municipal water system, the FSN (Federated National Water Service) runs by contract from Rabat municipality and is serviced by water companies based in the area. This means that the only source of safe drinking water for travelers is through wells, springs, or boreholes.

There are several points you should know about the water supplied by the FSN. First of all, this system uses a filtering system that filters most types of contaminants, such as lead, benzene, and chlorine. All disinfection processes take place at a treatment plant and then the water is delivered to the customer.

The treatment facility used in the FSN is owned and operated by the municipal government of Rabat. The treatment facilities are located close to the towns and villages so that they are accessible to people living within a range of distances from Rabat.
