A factory to manufacture fake drinking water in al-Haseb area in downtown Taiz was seized by the Public Funds Investigation and Criminal Investigation at Taiz Police.

Yemen Standardization, Metrology and Quality Control Organization (YSMO) inspected the seized water at a laboratory to reveal that it is unfit for drinking and water is filled by ordinary, unhealthy laboratories.

The factory fills water with metal cans with branded names and trademarks, in order to pass the goods as pure water produced by well-known companies.

The police ordered to control all the quantities in the lab and to refer the case to the competent prosecution to complete the legal proceedings.

It also directed a field campaign in coordination with YSMO and the Industry Office to inspect the water stations located in the city, and examine  samples of water available in the markets to ensure their safety.
