have seen an invasion

of worms crawling out of taps

One flatowner in Shijiazhuang, capital of North China's

Hebei Province, said: “I never noticed them before, but now I see the worms - some long, some short, some red and some white.

“I feel sick when I think of the fact that I am using this water to cook my meals.”

It is not known if the worms themselves are dangerous or the scale of infested devastation.

Footage from the worried residents show tiny worms swimming around in water collected in small bowls and basins, causing further concerns around the number of parasites in the supply.

Meanwhile, residents have since resorted to buying up masses of bottled water while they demand answers to the stomach-wrenching find.

Some have also started to invest in water purifying machine following the launch of a police investigation.

However, others have attempted to filter the small creatures out of the water by tying wet wipes over the taps so they can continue to use the infested water to cook.

The worms have been sent for scientific examination

Police have said that the invasion could be traced to faulty repair work recently carried out in the vicinity.

A policeman investigating the case said: "We believe the underground pipes may have become infested with the worms during recent maintenance works.”

"The pipes were probably not cleaned properly, and the worms then reproduced after entering the warmer waters of the buildings' water tanks."

They explained that professionals will have clean and sterilize the water tank while the property managers advised residents to empty the reserve tank of their water heaters.
