These include testing for bacteria, metals, and other compounds. All samples taken in 2024 met the required microbiological and chemical safety standards. However, two samples exceeded the guideline limits for bacterial colony counts, and two others had slightly elevated iron levels. These deviations were not considered a health risk.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities test tap water based on supply volume and risk assessments. Larger suppliers, such as HSY, undergo frequent testing, with samples taken almost weekly. Smaller water cooperatives are tested annually. In 2024, more than 200 official water samples were collected.<\/p>\n<p>Espoo Regional Environmental Health advises residents to flush tap water before use, especially for drinking or cooking. Running the tap improves quality by ensuring fresh water from the mains. Water is ready for use once it feels cool and stable in temperature. If a tap has not been used for a long period, flushing for several minutes may be necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.helsinkitimes.fi\/finland\/finland-news\/domestic\/26328-tap-water-in-espoo-kauniainen-and-kirkkonummi-meets-top-quality-standards.html#google_vignette\">Helsinki Times<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/tap-water-in-espoo-kauniainen-and-kirkkonummi-meets-top-quality-standards\/\">Tap water in Espoo, Kauniainen, and Kirkkonummi meets top quality standards<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,586,407,3984],"class_list":["post-138433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-finland","tag-quality","tag-tap-water"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138433\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
