They told me what to do with bad water

Experts of the regional Rospotrebnadzor explained that drinking and safe tap water can be considered in case of compliance with the established hygienic standards and do not pose a threat to health and do not contain pathogenic microorganisms, harmful chemicals, having normal taste, smell and color.

To understand whether it is good, the consumer needs to assess whether the water contains signs such as turbidity, rusty or yellowish tint, unpleasant smell, metallic taste and sediment, whether there is scaling in the kettle after it.

“Single precipitation after repair work is normal, but regular precipitation from time to time is already a reason for action,” experts say.

They recommend draining stagnant water simply by opening the tap for 10-15 minutes. Then check the filters on and aerators on the faucets, as well as the cartridges in the mixers, which must be clean. If the water does not look good, you can go to the neighbors to see if they have problems.

“If only you have the problem, it’s probably your pipe wiring or filter. If everyone has a reason in the common highway, experts explain.

First of all, you should contact the management company, HOA or HOA. Then - to the emergency service, remembering the date, time and number of the application. At the same time, it is necessary to insist on an on-site inspection with the drawing up of an act before witnesses. This will be evidence for a recalculation of the fee or a subsequent complaint.

In case the Criminal Code did not help, it is necessary to leave an application to the water utility, describing the problem and asking to check the water quality at the entrance to the house. The inspectors must send you a copy of the report within three days.

If this does not help, you should contact Rospotrebnadzor. You can submit an appeal through the website, mail or in person, accompanying the application with all already received documents and acts.

The prosecutor’s office and the court should go if the problem has become systematic. For example, treatment plants do not work, supervisory authorities do not respond. The court may decide not only to eliminate violations, but also to compensate for the cost of independent examination.
