How clean is your water ?
LankaBuzz
They are easy, and cheap. You canget iced water or hot water and 5
gallon of water will cost around Rs150 to Rs250. The question is how
clean is this water ?
These water cans if we call it that, are reused. Once a company that
uses these has empties they may keep it out till all dust an dirt
collects. Then after a week the water copmany comes by collects the
empty can and replaces with a new, refilled water can.
When this was refilled, was it cleaned ? Are they following all the
health and safety regulation ? Who knows?
Some time a ago, a small test was done. The water from one of these was
taken to a testing facility and they found out it was not safe to
drink. What happened next I'm not sure but that company still sells
it's water without a problem.
In order to be get certain required certifications for example the
company has to be within all the required limits, but one place we
found out was doing their bottling in an area which had their workers
floor toilet ajoiing the building. According to standard bottling
regulations this is strictly prohibited but they have been certified.
Somebody made some money to fool us into drinking toilet water.
If you work in a company and a given water from these places it would
be best to advise the company to do random checks on the water they
provide you. It doesn't cost a lot to get the water tested and
atleast you know you are drinking safe water, and not contamiated
toilet water.
