Continuous Monitoring Ensures the Quality of Drinking Water

In recent days, various statements and opinions concerning the quality of drinking water supplied by Veolia Jur CJSC have been circulated across public and social media platforms. These claims are not supported by professional assessments or official data. Veolia Jur CJSC reaffirms that the drinking water supplied to its customers is subject to continuous, 24/7 monitoring. Water quality is regularly verified through comprehensive laboratory testing, and all results are assessed in full compliance with the applicable sanitary and regulatory standards. It is important to note that drinking water quality is monitored not only by Veolia Jur CJSC, but also by the competent public authorities. In accordance with Armenian legislation, the relevant state bodies carry out independent oversight and are responsible for identifying and recording any non-compliance with the applicable requirements. Accordingly, if there were any deviations in drinking water quality that could pose a risk to public health or any breach of the established standards, such findings would be officially identified by the competent authorities and communicated to the public through the appropriate channels. We also wish to clarify that water hardness, which has recently been the subject of public discussion, is not a drinking water safety parameter and is not considered a public health risk. Water hardness is a naturally occurring characteristic that depends solely on the geological composition of the water source. As Veolia Jur CJSC supplies drinking water from different water sources across its service area, certain physicochemical characteristics of the water, including hardness, may naturally vary from one region to another. These variations reflect the natural properties of the respective water sources and do not affect the safety or quality of the drinking water. It is also worth noting that the regulatory framework entering into force in 2027 reflects this internationally recognized approach by no longer considering water hardness as an indicator of public health risk. Veolia Jur CJSC therefore confirms that the drinking water supplied to its customers remains under continuous monitoring and fully complies with the applicable sanitary and hygienic requirements. Finally, we encourage media organizations, social media users, and all stakeholders to rely on verified information and refrain from disseminating unsubstantiated claims or information that is not supported by professional assessments or official data. Any communication relating to public health should be based exclusively on scientific evidence, laboratory analyses, and the official conclusions of the competent public authorities.
