Kraanavettä

Kraanavettä is a Finnish term that translates to "tap water" or "running water" in English. It refers to potable water supplied by a public utility and delivered through a faucet or tap. In Finland, the quality of tap water is generally very high, and it is considered safe and healthy to drink directly from the tap. The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) is responsible for monitoring water quality and setting standards to ensure public health.

The country's abundant natural water resources, combined with advanced purification and distribution systems, contribute to the excellent quality of its tap water. Many Finnish households and public places provide access to kraanavettä, and it is a common and widely accepted source of drinking water. The consumption of kraanavettä is encouraged as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to bottled water. The infrastructure for delivering clean tap water to most of the population is well-established.
