There are many reasons why tap water does not begin to flow clear and clean, but rusty, dirty, with an unpleasant odor, often of inappropriate temperature. Naturally, communications are subject to wear and tear. Often this is what affects the quality of tap water.
Causes
You need to know that under the influence of high pressure and water velocity, sediments deposited on pipes, solid particles of rust are washed out. In addition, there are so-called "dead end lines" located in the private sectors of cities where the pipeline was laid long ago by the owners of private houses. This also affects the quality of the water.
Of course, this is an abnormal phenomenon. After all, each tenant or homeowner pays for utilities of appropriate quality, including water supply.
Where to go
If the phenomenon of poor-quality water in the water supply system is rare, then it is enough to contact the management company. The same thing should be done if the water quality has changed after cleaning the boiler or replacing pipes in the emergency section.
When this problematic situation lasts for a long period and the management company ignores the tenants' statements, you should resort to contacting your local water utility for drinking water research. These studies are conducted jointly with the management company.
There are situations when the persons responsible for these studies slowly respond to citizens' appeals. According to the Federal Law, you can send an appeal to the Office of Rospotrebnadzor to the department for supervision of public hygiene. The specialists of the territorial department will conduct proper research and laboratory tests of water quality. Samples will be taken from the applicants' taps. As a result, the causes of water pollution will be clarified.
