What the sources say
Advises travellers that tap water is generally not safe to drink in Montserrat.
0.0/100 on the water drinkability and accessibility index, which Numbeo reads as “Very low”. This one is crowdsourced from residents rather than measured.
Montserrat has an excellent supply of water originating deep in its mountains, though bottled water is cheap and widely available. The US-based Center for Disease Control (CDC) actually recommends avoiding tap water here, but all locals and many visitors drink it without incident.
This is a national picture, and it varies. Some cities treat their water to a standard the country as a whole does not reach. Where the water is not safe, boiling, filtering or sealed bottles are the usual options, and ice and raw salad washed in tap water carry the same risk as the water itself.
