Microbiological quality

Ground water practically lacks microbiological pollution. Therefore, insufficient drinking water quality based on microbiological parameters indicates secondary pollution during drinking water preparation and supply in the networks. Projects for improvement of water management have led to a decrease in the proportion of samples not meeting standards in 2000.

Proportion of water samples from centralized water supply systems that do not meet standards based on microbiological parameters, 1999-2000
