The Institute for Public Health (IPH) has issued strict usage restrictions for the population of Gostivar concerning the municipal water supply. These measures follow an announcement made by the Food and Veterinary Agency on July 17th, which placed a ban on the use of drinking water from the city’s system due to concerns regarding potential contamination and safety. In light of these advisories, the IPH strongly urges all residents to adhere strictly to the imposed restrictions until official confirmation is issued by relevant governmental bodies verifying that the water is safe for consumption.
Under the current guidelines, the water from the city system is prohibited from use for drinking purposes. Furthermore, its use is restricted for other critical household activities unless a final decision permits otherwise. These prohibitions specifically cover several daily necessities.
Residents are advised not to use the water for preparing any form of food, nor for washing fresh fruits and vegetables intended for consumption. The restrictions also extend to the preparation of beverages, including coffee, tea, juices, and the making of ice. Furthermore, the water cannot be used for preparing dinner meals or any other food-related activity.
The public health advisory emphasizes that these measures are precautionary. Citizens must rely only on official updates regarding the potability of the water in Gostivar. Adherence to these guidelines is crucial to prevent potential health risks associated with using questionable water sources for consumption or food preparation.
