Hi CK,
I chanced upon your blog while searching for answer to water
quality. I moved into a old apartment recently (Braddell View) and wondering if
I need to invest in water filtration system (rather not as I’m renting).
You mention in your blog that PUB does quality check of
residential area. How do I get a report or know if I can drink direct from tap?
The source may be ok but not sure about the aged pipes.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Regards,
T
Hi T,
PUB does water quality (WQ) testing of residential areas but
their data have never been disclosed to the public. At best, you can get an annual
WQ report from their website. However, this report does not segregate into
different localities or indicate the dates/times of testing.
If you have good reason to suspect that your tap water is
unsafe, you can call PUB to perform a WQ test in your residence. However, PUB
will typically not reveal the results nor the tests they did except to tell you
that your water is EITHER SAFE OR NOT.
The other alternative is to do your own testing but I do not
recommend this unless you are pretty savvy in WQ and its testing. Even if you
are, you still need the budget for the test kits or to pay a commercial lab to
do the testing.
Good luck!
CK
