Boil-water requirement lifted in Kfar Chabad

In depth

The Health Ministry announced the cancellation of the water-boiling requirement in the Beit Rivka neighborhood of Kfar Chabad, following satisfactory sampling results. The microbiological results came back satisfactory, and the water is fit for drinking and all other uses in the neighborhood.

The easing applies to the Beit Rivka neighborhood only. In the rest of the community, residents still must boil water before drinking, cooking, preparing medication and brushing their teeth, following abnormal results in water quality tests.

The instruction in the rest of Kfar Chabad remains in force until further notice. Residents are asked to continue following it until the Health Ministry's next update.
