Very Smelly Water


Artykuł pochodzi z pisma "New Warsaw Express"

Thousands of residents in southern Warsaw got an unpleasant shock when they woke up on New Year’s morning only to fall victim to an unexplained contamination of the area’s water supplies.
The local sanitation authorities were taken by complete surprise. The foul odour issuing from taps in many of Warsaw’s southern districts prompted a barrage of complaints on local websites and in newspapers.
“To begin with I thought something was off in my fridge. I defrosted it, but it still stank,” wrote one Varsovian to the daily Gazeta Wyborcza.
“I woke up after New Year, drank a coke, then made myself a coffee – when I tasted it I thought I was going to puke,” said another.
Health officials speculated that the trouble may have stemmed from the lower volumes used to flush out the city’s sewage system over Christmas, and stressed that the problems had mainly lasted for a limited period. They say they used a higher disinfectant/chlorine element to drown out the smell, which did not carry any additional health risks. None of which was much comfort to those parents who held off bathing children for more than two days.
