Can you drink spring water

The label “drinking” means the spring is described that way in OpenStreetMap or has a fitted drinking fountain. It is not a laboratory test: water composition changes after downpours, floods and droughts. Near roads, farms and fields water can be polluted even in a spring that looks clean. For children and for regular drinking, have the water tested at your regional disease control laboratory.

Some springs and wells in Polissia are revered as holy places, with chapels and crosses beside them. Come with respect, do not leave rubbish and do not wash cars by the water.
