US CDC Travelers' Health

Advises travellers that tap water is generally not safe to drink in Saint Pierre and Miquelon.

Safe nationally still means ask locally. Older buildings can carry lead or copper pipework, and a single street can differ from the network feeding it. If you are staying somewhere old, ask your host.
