From sources to points of consumption: how water access and practices shape drinking water quality in a high-Arctic community

Key Points

• To investigate how water access and storage practices influence drinking water quality in a high-Arctic community.
• Analyzed drinking water quality from sources to consumption points.
• Evaluated contamination levels in household storage containers.
• Examined the truck-to-cistern water delivery system.
• Noticed a progressive decline in water quality from source to tap.
• Identified that household storage containers contributed to increased contamination.
