Is tap water safe to drink in the UAE?

  • 2024-11-08

STORAGE TANK

Safe and clean drinking water is essential for human life hence, it is essential that we consume or use water which is not contaminated and safe from health-threatening elements. As we all are aware that the water coming out of our taps at home or office in the UAE is clean, while this may be true however the water we receive is collected in individual tanks in houses, villas and buildings before we consume.

OLD PIPES

The UAE government has confirmed that the water that is supplied through distribution lines is clean, however, the water tank that collects water could be contaminated and in order to use water for drinking or using it for oral hygiene, it would need to be cleaned as per the UAE's guidelines. Water tank cleaning is an important method for avoiding pollution of stored water. For a matter of fact, water tank cleaning periodically is forgotten or ignored despite we use the water from our taps for everyday's use.

                                                                

EFFECTS AFTER RAIN

There are times when the quality of water can suffer, specifically after raining after a long period of time which is very common in the UAE. Properties on dry land in Dubai or other parts of the emirates will see dust and bird faeces accumulate on the roof and they find their way in a tank. When water tank cleaning is not performed regularly, this can allow an inflow of debris, sediments and other materials.

HOT WATER


While the water from the tap could be safe to drink provided the water tank cleaning is performed as per the guidelines, it’s also worth mentioning that it is a good practice to drink from the hot water tap. The hot water is stored in water tanks which are heated and cooled multiple times and as a result, it can be a home of bacteria such as legionella.
