Aquabis: The potability percentage is 99.89% for the water distributed in Bistrita – Bistritanul

Referring to a recent report presented by DSP BN, those from Aquabis commented the following:

“The fundamental aspect that must be taken into account with regard to the report of the Bistrita-Năsăud Public Health Directorate is the fact that the values ​​presented include analyzes carried out mainly in water supply areas where our company NOT OPERATING the service or in areas where the population benefits from double feed (still has a water source).

The non-compliant results presented in the report relating to the entire county cannot be entirely attributed to “deficiencies” in water treatment by the sewer-water supplier.

Specifically, the water supply areas where the operator Aquabis NOT operate, but which are the basis of the results presented in the report are Telciu, Parva, Măgura Ilvei, Romuli, Arșita. The Śieu and Şanț water supply areas benefit from a double supply“, stated Aquabis.

The values ​​mentioned in the DSP BN report as non-compliant refer to a total of 36,434 analyzes performed. These represent a percentage of 0.28 for E. coli, 0.33 for intestinal Enterococci, respectively 1.21 for coliform bacteria – explains Aquabis.
