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.
On St Vincent, tap water comes from a reservoir and is generally safe to drink. On the outer islands, water comes from rain collection, wells or desalination plants, so the quality can vary and the taste can be unpleasant at times. Bottled water is widely available and recommended.
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.
