Zagreb, March 13 (CP) – It has finally been established that insulation mass is to blame for residents of Zagreb’s Vrbani III residential area not being able to drink their water due to high level of pollutants discovered in it.

The search for the culprit has been going on for more than a year after it was found that drinking water in the newly built block of flats at Zagreb’s Vrbani III residential area was a health hazard as it was abundant in mineral oils and other substances dangerous to human health.

The discovery came randomly, during building works in the bathroom in one of the flats. As the workers broke the flooring and opened up the segment housing the insulation a foul smell coming from the insulation mass that was a gooey mass rather than solid as it should have been prompted the residents to call the police.

The reason for the insulation mass not becoming solid is believed to be the construction workers building the block of flats not waiting for the insulation mass to solidify, but rather pressing on with flooring the building before time.

The wrangling over the problem of the residents not being able to drink the water coming from their taps had been going on for more than a year with blame falling on everything from the city waterworks to developers.
