Sharjah grocers can sell five-gallon water bottles
SHARJAH — The Sharjah Municipality has announced that it will allow groceries and supermarkets to sell five-gallon bottles of water under certain conditions.
Earlier, the civic body sent circulars to all groceries informing them to stop selling five-gallon water bottles with effect from March 28.
Dr Salah Al Hajj, Director-General of the Sharjah Municipality, asked the civic body's Health Section to allow groceries and supermarkets to sell five-gallon bottles of water after it ensures that they will follow the health regulations and the new conditions laid down by the civic body to sell bottled water.
Mohammed Omer Al Bannai, Head of the Health Section of the Sharjah Municipality, said under the new conditions, supermarkets or groceries should get approval from the municipality after they present water supply contracts with any of the reputed drinking water companies.
Groceries and supermarkets should deal with only one water company which should maintain shelves inside the shops for keeping and displaying water bottles, he said.
Groceries and supermarkets should pay Dh100 as a fee to the civic body to get approval for selling five-gallon bottles of water.
Al Bannai said the Sharjah Municipality through these procedures is making efforts to ensure best quality water for consumers in order to maintain public health.
A source from Health Section said the municipality first banned groceries from selling such water bottles after its inspectors found on several occasions that some groceries refilled bottles with tap water and sold them to the people.
He said the municipality took this decision as a large number of residents complained that the supply of five-gallon water bottles directly from companies to their homes had been quite irregular following the ban imposed by the Sharjah Municipality on the sale of such bottles in the emirate's groceries.
