Residents of three districts of Minsk – Zavodskoy, Leninsky and Oktyabrsky – are advised to use a shuttle bus.
This is due to the fact that due to a pipeline accident, the quality of domestic tap water may deteriorate.
Therefore, as Belta writes with reference to the Minsk City Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology, citizens are advised to use transported or bottled water.
It is noted that specialists are currently monitoring food preparation and compliance with personal hygiene conditions in educational institutions in the territories of the specified districts.
They advise local residents to use transported or bottled water for drinking, cooking and personal hygiene.
As soon as the work to eliminate the accident is completed, the sanitary and epidemiological service, together with Minskvodokanal, will take water samples in those areas.
Experts will conduct laboratory tests on safety indicators for chemical composition and microbiological safety indicators.
Earlier, the Ministry of Housing and Public Utilities reported that water supply had been fully restored in three affected areas of the capital.
