MONROVIA – Mekki’s Pure Mineral Water, a processed and sachet drinking water is produced under filthy conditions and an unpleasant environment, FrontPageAfrica has discovered. The EPA warned that sachet water is absolutely unsafe for drinking. “Technicians from the Environmental Research and Standards Laboratory at Liberia Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have analyzed the qualities of 18 sachet water brands in the country and realized that 17 out of the 18 sachet water brands tested are unsafe for drinking,” the EPA disclosed. Sachet water is the major source of drinking water for a majority of Liberia’s urban population simply because it is readily available and cheap compared to the bottled brand. Days after the release of its bacteriological analysis, the EPA released the first batch to mineral water companies that are producing unsafe drinking water for public consumption.
