Authorities confirm drinking water safety
The Ministry of Local Government in Libya has confirmed that water sources, which are subject to ongoing disinfection and monitoring, are safe for use. The survey results and studies do not indicate widespread pollution in the country's drinking water. They explained that water quality depends on its source and the availability of purification and maintenance processes. Authorities conduct regular tests on drinking water and recommend filter changes and tank disinfection. They noted that some areas relying on surface wells, especially parts of Tajoura, face bacterial contamination and elevated levels of salts, prompting residents to depend on desalinated or filtered water. In Tripoli, around 90% of the city relies on the artificial river water source, which is regularly tested and considered free from bacterial pollution. The Ministry emphasized that the results of the MICS 2024-2025 survey are not officially accredited. Water quality in areas not connected to the network is influenced by the cleanliness of wells and tanks, as well as storage methods, requiring periodic testing. Additionally, they stressed that the safety of drinking water depends on its source and continuous oversight, monitoring, and maintenance.
