According to him, more than 400 water samples were taken in the city from the water supply network and other
water sources. Almost 30% of them exceeded the norm for
microbiological indicators, which is a significant deviation from the norm. The main
reason for this is the deterioration of water supply networks.

average in Vinnytsia region this figure usually does not exceed 11%, and in
Ukraine is 7.5%. As for the chemical indicators of drinking water. According to the results of
of all water samples, deviations from the norm were found in almost 60%. This is also
is also a rather high figure, since on average in Ukraine we record about
20% of deviations
