据中国官方媒体报导，有关当局清理了太湖蓝藻爆发的污染后，无锡市的饮用水供应已经恢复。

当地卫生官员在接受新华社采访时说，太湖水现在已经可以安全饮用。但是，官员们还是敦促居民放出管道里残存的被污染的陈水。

上个月，太湖流域蓝藻暴发，引发水质变坏，造成自来水散发出难闻的气味，有关当局切断了两百多万人口的水源供应。很多居民在惊恐中大量抢购瓶装水。

Chinese state media report that drinking water supplies have been restored to the city of Wuxi after authorities cleaned up an algae bloom in a nearby lake.

Local health authorities have told the Xinhua news agency that water from Taihu Lake is safe to drink. However, officials are urging residents to allow water to run out of the taps in their homes for a while to clear out any residual contaminated water.

Authorities cut the tap water supply to more than two million people last week after an algae bloom smothered the lake, producing unpleasant tastes and odors in tap water. The contamination sparked a run on bottled water by panicked residents.
