The Borshchahivka community continues to deliver drinking water to residents of Sofiivska and Petropavlivska Borshchahivka who draw water from private wells and boreholes near the contaminated ponds. From today, purification tablets are handed out along with the water.
This was announced by Borshchahivka village council.
What exactly is being handed out
Along with the water deliveries, residents receive Aquatabs Multipurpose tablets and instructions on how to use them properly. The council stresses that this is a preventive measure for disinfecting water in private wells and boreholes.
The instructions set out the sequence: filter the water first if it contains sediment, then add a tablet according to the dosage, stir and wait at least half an hour until it dissolves completely.
Where and when the water arrives
Deliveries are made by the municipal company Blahoustriy. In Sofiivska Borshchahivka the truck stands on Zarichna Street from 17:30 to 18:10, on Leonida Kadeniuka Street (formerly Haharina) from 18:20 to 19:00, and at the junction of Naberezhna and Berehova from 19:10 to 19:30.
In Petropavlivska Borshchahivka it is on Berehova Street from 20:00 to 20:40 and on Ally Horskoi Street from 20:45 to 21:20.
Why this matters now
The restrictions follow contamination of the community's water bodies, which killed about three tonnes of fish. The danger to people lies less in the pond itself than in the private wells and boreholes located nearby.
The council asks residents who use private water sources near the contaminated ponds to take the preventive measures seriously.
Earlier we reported that three tonnes of fish died in Borshchahivka's water bodies, and what residents were told not to do at the time.
