The Chief Sanitary Inspectorate is appealing to residents affected by flooding to use bottled water. This is due to problems with access to drinking water that may occur in flooded areas.
As reported by Marek Waszczewski, spokesman for the Chief Sanitary Inspectorate, water from flooded private wells is not suitable for consumption. After the flood recedes, disinfection of the wells and water testing will be necessary.
He added that detailed information on the suitability of tap water for consumption is available at district sanitary-epidemiological stations.
