Whater in the Capital

Officially it is safe to drink water in Moscow from a tap. In 2016 Moscow Government completely upgraded capital plumbing infrastructure, including exchange of 30 years old concrete pipes on new modern polyethylene pipes but still it is not a good idea to drink raw water.

Many Muscovites drink water from a tap but at first they always boil it every time before drinking or use special cleaning filters which are installed on taps. 
To learn more information about the quality of water in your district you can visit special website www.mosvodokanal.ru If you still doubt whether to drink water from the tap or not you can buy drinking water in capital supermarkets where you can find different brands and volumes.
