The water we drink is of good quality, the health services assure.
Although in the report with water analyzes conducted for the first half of 2017, coliform bacteria were identified in some areas, however, they assure the public that these levels do not become dangerous for human health.
According to Albert Karis, Head of Health Services, "coliforms are indicative parameters. That is - they are the indications that indicate that there is a problem in the water and measures must be taken. It does not cause any problem to the health of the consumers ".
In these cases, the head of the health services told us, measures are taken to restore the water quality and then repeated sampling is done to determine the suitability of the water for drinking.
In our communication with the Deputy Director of the Department of Water Development, Andreas Manolis, he assured us about the quality of the water.
Regarding complaints in Limassol and Nicosia about the taste of soil in the water, he told us that this phenomenon is observed due to the reduced level in the dams. Assuring us once again that the water we consume is of excellent quality.
