Head of Water Agency Z.Batbayar gave some information about the drinking water. E.coli, salmonella, and shigella bacteria were found in the drinking water of residential areas near Zaisan with a decentralized water source. Also, since nitrate and ion content exceeds the maximum allowable level of MNS 0900:2018 standard for drinking water, citizens and enterprises are warned that they need to test the drinking water. Experts said these bacteria are caused by pit latrines, unreliability of sewage systems, floodwaters, snowmelt, and soil pollution.
