Sodium
Sodium in tap water is usually small next to food — but it is reported so people who track sodium can get local numbers.

diet is personal
What people notice
People on low-sodium diets, or anyone who saw a number on a report and wondered what it means.
What records usually show
Day-to-day cards may show sodium when samples exist. Ontario practice: note levels above 20 mg/L so people on restricted diets can plan. Aesthetic objective ≤200 mg/L (taste). Neither is a “poison” line. We do not give medical advice.
What you can do
- Check the day-to-day number on your system page if it is listed.
- Diet decisions: talk to your health-care provider; local numbers are only one input.
