Can you drink tap water from Salem Nigeria? You can.

That is why I decided to take a trip to the place, where all those people are drinking clean, pure and safe water. The town of Salem is located on the north of Nigeria. It is home to a huge water storage area that supplies the whole city with fresh and clean water.

The water is of a very high quality. This is because it was developed and purified many years ago by the government itself. The process took about two decades before it was finally released for public consumption. The only problem with this is that some of the water sources have been contaminated with harmful chemicals that are often used as fertilizers in the agriculture industry.

Since the water is naturally clean, it is not only suitable for drinking, but for bathing and cooking as well. Even though there are no health risks associated with drinking the water, there have been cases of illness related to unclean water sour
