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.
