Water cut in Mbuji-Mayi: claims that water is poisoned
“REGIDESO water in Mbuji-Mayi contains poison and must no longer be drunk.”
A factual event — the outage — was turned into a health alert.
REGIDESO announced a scheduled 36-hour interruption for station filter maintenance. Control analyses carried out after the service was restored have been forwarded to the editorial team.
What is misleading: linking maintenance work to poisoning. However, caution is advised: when supply resumes, cloudy water may come out of the taps and should be left to run for a few minutes.
