Residents in an Indian apartment block were shocked when a mixture of beer and rum flowed from their kitchen taps. It will take at least a month to fix their water supply.
Having beer readily available on tap at home might be a dream for some, but residents in southern India were left shocked when they discovered their entire water supply had become alcoholic.Local officials never showed up to fix it, so residents are pumping the wellA potent, slightly brown liquid started flowing last week from the taps of an apartment block in Chalakudy, in the state of Kerala, where 18 families live.
"A bar is located near our apartment. A few years back authorities seized around 6,000 litres of liquor from the bar," resident Joshy Maliyekkal told the ABC. "They dug up a huge pit near the bar and poured the seized alcohol into it. The liquor seeped through the soil and mixed with the well water."The situation might sound like a bit of a joke, but the reality has proved anything but.
While authorities agreed to clean the water supply after receiving complaints, so far, residents have been left to pump out the alcoholic water themselves.
