The use of water that does not comply with the established safety standards can provoke various adverse consequences for humans. This article reviews the quality of drinking water in water intake wells, public wells, springs, and centralized water supply points in apartment buildings in the Taldom and Dmitrov town districts of the Moscow region. As a result of the analysis of the indicators of 76 sources in these areas, it was found that drinking water that fully complies with the Sanitary Regulations and Norms 2.1.4.1074-01 is observed only in 3 sources. Which advises 3.9% of the total. In 96.1% of the sources, the water is not suitable for drinking and requires additional cleaning measures (up to sanitary and hygienic regulatory requirements for disinfection).</p>the quality of drinking waterwater intake wellwater springwellWater Pollution IndexTaldom town districtDmitrov town districtкачество питьевой водыводозаборная скважинародникколодецИЗВТалдомский г. оДмитровский г. о[Zelinskaya AR, Khutorova AO.
