BEIJING — Avoid drinking tap water during the 2008 Olympics -- unless you're living in the Olympic Village. That was the advice from a high-ranking Beijing official on Wednesday, explaining the city's attempt to "guarantee water safety" for the Olympics.
He acknowledged the billions spent to clean and modernize the Chinese capital haven't been enough to provide potable tap water.
"The quality of the water provided by the water plants is safe enough," said Bi Xiaogang, vice director general of the Beijing Water Management Bureau.
"The water is contaminated during the secondary supply process, in the transfer of water. Therefore it is not safe to drink from the tap," Bi said. "We are still working on upgrading the secondary facilities. But in the Olympic Village we will provide safe drinking water from the tap."
