Health Ministry: Water must be boiled before drinking in central Israel kibbutz

The Health Ministry announced Saturday the need  for residents of Kibbutz Kadima-Zoran to boil water before drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, and preparing medications due to water quality abnormalities.

Water can still be used for washing and sanitation purposes, the ministry said. 

Israel's national water supplier has been instructed to immediately carry out additional tests of the water quality and take the necessary steps to correct the problem.
