(Hai Fe) - Today, Friday 27/9/24, changes are felt in the taste of drinking water in the Haifa area and the north.
The Ministry of Health, the Water and Sources Authority told Hai Pa News Corporation:
Today, Friday 27/9/24, changes in the taste of drinking water are felt in the Haifa area and the north, which originate from natural changes in the waters of the Sea of Galilee. No abnormalities were found in the tests conducted in the water and there is no health risk. The Ministry of Health, the Water Authority, Mekorot and the water suppliers continue monitoring and testing.
Any updates anyone? Is there an explanation why all the responsible parties are in wireless silence? Maybe because there is something serious systemic here??? Don't want to report it and/or don't know how to solve it? The taste and smell just get worse. Since they are strong, even a new Brita I bought does not help. I washed my hands - the smell of mold remained on my hands. He comes to wash a fruit and suddenly stops and thinks twice. Wash your face and think about whether and what damage is caused by getting this water into your eyes, nose and mouth. At least they will say transparently what is happening even if it is bad. At least we know where we stand. Water is a basic thing. We deserve to have good water in our pipes. And even if they tell me a thousand times that they did tests and they are normal - with such a strong smell and taste, it's just hard to believe. Especially that it goes on and on and is also spread to many localities. Literally stinks.
I have unclean water from the tap. 12 Rothschild Ave. Haifa
What will happen to it? Strong smell and taste of mold for almost a month now. It is certain that none of the official bodies will sign for us that it is certainly harmless, no one will take on such a responsibility. And it's not just the drinking. By the way, boiling doesn't help either. It is also cooking, and showering, and freezing ice trays, and brushing teeth, and washing dishes and surfaces, including cleaning the house. This water touches everything.
It's like that for me too. I live in Kiryat Eliezer. The smell of stale water!!
and taste with a musty aroma.
I have a stomach ache sure from the water a nightmare
And I've been at a loss for at least two weeks now, I don't understand why every time I turn on the tap there is a smell of mold and I have a new kitchen, new brushes, everything is new. Also the part about the brown water is simply repulsive, even in the kettle I only boil mineral water that still leaves scale if it's mineral why are they Do they leave scale? Although it's probably clear after watching videos about what's really in mineral water, they're not that mineral, they're full of crap
The change in water is due to not properly maintaining the facilities, not using the correct means to transfer them, the alkalinity and hardness of the water does not change, but the conditions in the field do, in one of the forums they even expressed the growth of algae in the water systems.
I got brown water from the tap!! For a week now, when I'm cooking and may not see cloudy water, I lower the water for the Japanese!!
I didn't feel any strange taste in the water. I drink mostly tap water that I cool in the refrigerator with a bottle. I am from Kiryat Ata.
Water with a stale taste and sometimes a brown color. I contacted the municipality and they rejected my request
The unusual taste not from Friday, but already from Tuesday evening. An appeal was made on behalf of "the majority of the city" on behalf of a group of residents to the municipality, and the municipality replied that it was a change in the disinfectant of the water, which will be returned to the previous one in the coming days.
Unless this is the second water problem in a row in Haifa, which is already more disturbing information.
Perhaps this is a planned conspiracy to receive a percentage of the sales of mineral water companies
It's always strange at the end of summer there is a change in the taste of the water, maybe you reach the bottom 😉
The water tastes like mold. I thought it was the plumbing in my house.
very true
Doesn't sound very believable. Makes more of an impression like the inscription "excellent chocolate". What happened that suddenly the water changed its taste? Why didn't this happen before? Another thing it reminds me of: "The vaccine is effective and safe".
Where is investigative journalism?
It is better to boil the water. My kettle is already brown inside since I came to live in Haifa. Not golden like in another city. Really hot!
Put water in the kettle a little above the minimum. The line is down
Add a little vinegar, some are soggy
I bring to a boil
When the water is finished, she pours it out and the bear does it twice with only water
The kettle removes the scale and in addition is like new
There is still no satisfactory explanation. Even though I have a three-layer filter and osmosis, there was a change in taste and I had to change the filter again. I thought it was just lazy
Finally, an explanation for the really tasteless water lately, despite the home filter that was replaced not long ago.
And gentle, despite the explanation, the water is not really what it is
Who drinks water from the tap?
Those who have a Tami 4 or similar device in their home are actually drinking filtered tap water. It's a cheap and easy solution to buying and carrying mineral water bottles and hundreds of thousands choose it. They drink from it with the assumption that the filtration protects against the penetration of pollutants. Unfortunately, not all types of infections are completely blocked by the filter, therefore the purity of the tap water is also important for these.
It is advisable to check more seriously, whether the strange taste that can be felt cannot harm the health of the residents of Haifa.
In my humble opinion, you should use a "Britta" device
Once a month the marker is changed and the water is excellent for drinking and cooking.
I have been using "Britta" for many years and really enjoy it, in my opinion, it saves health and money.
