Tomas, My wife's best friend works for the Moscow water agency in the Water Quality testing department however it's called. She says the similar situation to NYC exists here. The water quality is fine but the pipes are very very old. A Moscow industrial filtering company I worked with for sales consulting uses Barrier (same sound in Russian Cyrillic) filters in a regular 2 liter plastic pitcher. Take that for what its worth. You can do the LA thing and buy bottled water but I think it is overkill.
Note, my disclaimer: I use Barrier water filters but don't get a kopek for endorsing them (yet ;} ). ******************************************************** On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 12:05 PM, expat expat <[email protected]>wrote: Dear expats, Just arrived to Moscow. Wanted to ask about the tap-water, how bad is it? Anyone drinking it as it is? Enough to boil it? Or needed both filter and boiling? Or better to buy mineral-water. In that case which one is good in Russia. Thanks in advance!
