On November 26, 2024, Qingdao Radio and Television Station reported that there was a problem with green water coming out of the water faucet in an apartment building in Wuhan, Hubei Province. According to the article, several residents of an apartment building in Jianghan District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, complained that their tap water was contaminated. According to residents, the water supply pump was shut off on the 15th of this month to inspect and repair the pipelines, and after supply was resumed, the tap water turned green, and the core of the water purifier installed in front of the faucet also turned green and had a large amount of green substance attached to it. On the evening of the 15th, the management company requested an inspection from the water supply company, and the test results showed that there was no problem with the water quality in the public water supply section. In addition, water quality tests conducted by a local environmental protection testing company stated that the water is “tasteless and odorless, and meets national hygiene standards.” Meanwhile, the management company sent samples of the green water for testing on the 18th, and local health authorities sent samples of the water for testing on the 21st, but the results are not yet known.On the 25th, the management company and water supply and pipeline agencies removed the water supply pipelines for the lower and middle floors of the apartment building and drained the green water. Wuhan Municipal Water Group, which is in charge of the city’s public water supply, explained on the 26th that “we have dispatched staff to conduct an on-site investigation, and there is no problem with the quality of the water being supplied,” and added, “The water was contaminated after passing through the pump room of the apartment complex. This is within the realm of the real estate company’s management, not the scope of Water Group’s handling.” Meanwhile, the management company said, “The problem has gone beyond the scope of our service capabilities,” and explained that it is cooperating with inspections by multiple authorities, including public security, sanitation, and water affairs, and that the results of the investigation will be released on the 29th. Regarding this incident, a Chinese netizen commented, “The same thing happened in my apartment building. It appears that the anti-corrosion coating on the pipe walls has peeled off. All of the water pipes and water purifier filters in the apartment building had to be replaced. After replacing it, the problem was solved.” “I would like the testing company that found that there is no problem with the water quality to use this water.” “This is a problem with the property management company. Comments such as, “Even if they asked me to provide the maintenance records for the water tank, I don’t think I could,” “The water is just like the water in my goldfish bowl,” and “Every time I see news like this, I feel lucky to have nothing” have been left.

This reminds me of this ↓ Regarding Shine Muscat grapes imported from China, they denied the danger, saying that the pesticides detected were no problem if they were washed within safety standards. However, the cleaning method introduced by the authorities was to “soak in baking soda or water for 15 minutes before eating, then rinse under running water for 30 seconds.”
If chlorine disinfectant is mixed into seawater it turns green, but in this case it’s a clear, uniform color. I guess this kind of inhomogeneity is caused by microorganisms. It may be full of nutrients, but I wonder if it can be digested lol.
