Dubai Tap Water

[DesertStranded]

I looked on Gulf News and it says that while the tap water is safe the tanks where it is stored can be contaminated and landlords often neglect to have someone clean the water pipes. It also says that while the municipality routinely checks the quality of water in public places like schools and mosques it only checks water quality in residential areas upon request of the resident. The smell of the water at international city is enough to put me off drinking the water.

I lived in IC (Greece Cluster), I always drank water straight from the tap and never had any problems. The smell comes from the sewer plant.

Never believe everything you read in the press......I'm still here and proof that drinking tap water is fine!

It's not just the nearby sewage plant that smells in Persia cluster. The water itself has a very distinct (****ty) smell to it.

does the water in the tap come from the desalination plant, or is it recycled from the toilet.

Unlike Fat ******* in Austin Power movies, I don't recall a "nutty" taste to the water! LOL I believe the water near to Persia was/is intended as some conservation project.....I could be wrong but it's definitely not the same water I drank!
