E.Coli traces found in water tanks of Ghaziabad high-rise with 1,000 residents

Ghaziabad: Traces of bacteria were found in the water supply of Blue Moon Society in Raj Nagar Extension, potentially affecting nearly 1,000 residents, health officials confirmed after testing samples following repeated complaints. According to the officials, after multiple complaints from residents, the department team collected six water samples on June 5, all of which failed to meet acceptable safety standards. "In water samples taken several times, E. coli presence was confirmed," district surveillance officer, Dr RK Gupta said. A notice was promptly issued to society management on June 9, directing them to clean the overhead tanks and submit a corrective action plan.

The management was served another notice demanding updates, but no response or remedial measures were reported," Gupta told TOI. Officials further maintained that the society's four overhead tanks lacked proper cleaning logs and maintenance records. "Even drinking-water tanks remain uncleaned, and no filtration measures are in place—a serious lapse in standard protocols," he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo The discovery comes weeks after was found in water at another housing complex, Prateek Grand City, where sewage had contaminated supply lines affecting approximately 3,000 residents.
