The Health Ministry warns residents of Haifa about irregular results of microbial tests of the city’s water supply.
Until further notice, all water for drinking, cooking, food, medication and toothbrushing must be boiled.
There is no need to boil water for showering, bathing, and sanitation.
The local water authority has been instructed to fix the problem and conduct further testing of the water supply.
