Xinhua news agency quoted government sources as saying that Harbin needs 1,400 tons of active carbon to purify the contaminated water in the Songhua but is currently 700 tons short.

The polluting material index had dropped to 29 times above national safety levels when the contaminants reached the border of Jilin and Heilongjiang on Sunday, the EPA said.

The provincial government had warned Harbin residents to stay away from the river to avoid possible exposure to airborne contaminants coming off the water.

Before the taps were closed at midnight on Tuesday, panicked residents rushed stores to stock up on food and water in a city where winter temperatures regularly drop below minus 20 Celsius.

Prices of bottled water soared in recent days and shops had been ordered to restore prices to normal to prevent panic buying.

Despite the water cut-off, officials have assured residents of normal operation of the city's heating system, but advised them not to take water from the system for household use.

By Wednesday, the panic buying of water and attempts to get out of the city were not as frantic as in previous days.

Adding to residents' relief was 15 hours of water supply to parts of the city and availability of bottled water in shops and supermarkets.

Zhao Wanxia, a saleswoman, said she had stored enough water to last for a few days. "I first wash vegetables, then use the water to clean the floor or flush the toilet."

More than 16,000 tons of bottled water was being transported to Harbin from neighbouring cities including 10 train carriages carrying 1,000 tons from Shenyang, capital of Northeast China's Liaoning Province.
