SUEZ and SJPNL Issue Advisory to Prevent Waterborne Diseases

Shimla: SUEZ India and the Shimla Jal Prabandhan Nigam Limited (SJPNL) have issued an advisory urging citizens to take precautions against waterborne diseases such as jaundice, diarrhoea, cholera and typhoid during the monsoon season.

According to the company management, the risk of contamination of water sources increases during the rainy season, which can lead to cases of stomach infections. Citizens have been advised to boil drinking water for at least 10 minutes before consumption.

People have also been urged to avoid uncovered food and maintain proper personal hygiene. Regular handwashing with soap and water has been recommended as an important preventive measure.

SUEZ and SJPNL are jointly operating the 24×7 drinking water project in Shimla. The project aims to provide citizens with safe, high-quality and potable water directly through the tap.
