I wrote awhile ago about buying water. Well the Kyiv Post ran a series on Kyiv water and have clarified the rumors of why we don't drink the water. (links to all articles in the series at the bottom of the article). The winner . . . It was the chlorine.
We also discovered that the water we used to buy had a very high bacteria content. Oops, maybe should have mixed it with the high chlorine tap water :-) Well - we didn't order it too often as we mostly walked to the kiosk and either way we switched companies (not one if the tested ones) when we came back in order to get a higher flouride content every once in awhile.
For the most part though - we are fetching our water from a kiosk - I guess though we should pay more attention to the Dept of Health review in the window or run our own test - apparently a violation in drinking water quality only carries a $100 fine.
