ABOUT 9,000 people in a county in northeast China have to line up in front of temporary water supply stations to get drinking water after their tap water was found polluted, authorities said yesterday.
Many local residents in Yilan County, Heilongjiang Province, have been reported to have been suffering from intestinal illnesses since last Friday.
Local government officials confirmed that the infections were caused by polluted drinking water after excessive amounts of e-coli bacteria were found in the drinking water.
People in 2,675 households in seven residential areas had been affected by the polluted water as of yesterday afternoon.
