ArmInfo. The drinking water supplied to consumers is under continuous, 24-hour monitoring and complies with the required standards, as stated by the press service of Veolia Djur CJSC in response to reports alleging that the company is providing substandard drinking water.
The company asserted that these allegations are not based on professional findings or official data. "Veolia Djur CJSC declares that the drinking water supplied to consumers is monitored around the clock. Water quality is regularly verified through laboratory testing, and the results are constantly evaluated for compliance with applicable regulatory requirements," the company stated.
Furthermore, Veolia Djur noted that drinking water quality is also overseen by authorized state agencies, which are responsible for recording any violations. "Consequently, if there were deviations in water quality posing a health risk or violations of current standards, they would have been identified by state oversight bodies and would have become a matter of public concern," the company emphasized.
Veolia Djur urged the media, social media users, and all interested parties to refrain from spreading unverified information that lacks professional substantiation. "Any information concerning public health must be based exclusively on facts, laboratory test results, and official assessments from competent state authorities," the company concluded.
It is worth noting that Arpine Hovhannisyan, former Deputy Speaker of the Armenian Parliament and former Minister of Justice, previously reported that she had periodically conducted independent testing of the water supplied by Veolia Djur. According to her, during the summer season, when water shortages occur, the company began mixing supply water with artesian water characterized by high hardness. Hovhannisyan pointed out that in various settlements across the country, this hardness level exceeded the permissible limit set by the Ministry of Health. As a result, she argued, citizens are paying for water that does not meet established standards and are therefore entitled to challenge this process in court.
Additionally, on June 17, it was reported that more than a dozen citizens in the Byureghavan community were hospitalized with symptoms of an intestinal infection. Following the incident, a group of residents held a protest demanding that Veolia Djur provide safe and high-quality drinking water.
