From an Owner in Bld. 3
I have just completed the water tests and they are all similar to last time. It should be perfectly OK to drink the tap water here in Building 3.
The only minor difference from last time was that TDS (Totally Dissolved Solids) was down from 196 to 156. This means that the water have less impurities compared to last time. 150-250 is the optimum range but as long as it is less than 500 its OK. All the units have their own galvanized pipes from the tank on the top floor to the individual units.
If you are away for a while or if you hit on your pipe with a hammer you will have about 10 liters of brown water with something that looks like sand in it, this is actually rust. As the pipes are individual you may only see this in one unit. At the moment my water is just fine so problems might not always come from the main tank but with the galvanized water pipe to the unit with the brown water.
