The analyses conducted by the Public Health Directorate (DSP) Alba revealed, in 2025, the presence of certain bacteria and lead in the drinking water from some localities in the Apuseni region. Although isolated cases of contamination were identified, the majority of areas had safe water for consumption. In large cities such as Alba Iulia, Sebeș, and Aiud, the water was considered compliant from a health perspective.


Quality issues were generally minor, concerning parameters that affect the appearance of the water, not health. Exceedances of lead levels were reported in the old installations of some public buildings, and bacteria such as coliforms and E. coli were found in small water supply systems. DSP intervened quickly, carrying out disinfections and flushing of the networks. In total, 160 public water sources were monitored, of which 66 were banned for consumption. Authorities informed the population about protective measures, and the water in the county was, in general, compliant with health standards.
