Canada had the second-best water-quality ranking among selected industrialized countries based on the Environmental Performance Index (EPI). Canada ranked ninth overall among the 157 countries assessed.

Even then, the index shows values for countries as a whole, collected from specific water monitoring facilities. It does not reflect the cleanliness of general household taps.
I'd bet, for example, that if you collected samples from random household taps in Canada, many would score lower on the index compared to samples collected from, say somewhere in Utah, despite the United States being far lower on the index.
