Property owners have been asked to ensure that the septic tank and drilled borehole water are well separated on their premises to avoid contamination and regular hospital visits.
In a contribution from the Society of Testing Laboratory Analysts of Nigeria (SoTLAN), the experts noted that it is common practice for property developers and civil engineers to build sewer and borehole side by side in the same complex, which is capable of regularly hospitalizing residents send.
In a conversation with our correspondent in the association secretariat in Lagos, the President of SoTLAN, Dr. bathe, cook.
“People are more concerned about the water they put in a glass beaker to drink. They did not know that the water used for bathing, brushing and cooking still ends up in the body, so it has to be ensured that it is high quality water. “
He urged homeowners and builders to conduct a water analysis of the water in each building to avoid diseases like cholera and typhoid.
“The impact of not testing the water before using it is that the quality of the water is not known, which could lead to residents of a building being hospitalized as some microbes can be ingested.
“Anyone who treats water in their residential or commercial building without testing it first does not know what to treat.
“Treatment should be after testing the water to avoid using the headache medication to treat stomach pain,” he said.
