In the municipality of Unterweitersdorf there are worrying news regarding the quality of the drinking water. According to reports, the water that is used for consumption and preparation of food is contaminated. This situation has become known in the last 27 minutes and could bring serious health risks for the residents.

causes and effects of contamination

The exact causes of water pollution have not yet been fully clarified, but extreme weather events such as heavy rain can play a crucial role. The high rainfall can lead to floods that press wastewater and other pollutants into nearby water sources. As a result, the drinking water no longer corresponds to the required purity standards.

residents are therefore urgently warned not to consume water until further notice. This applies to both direct use of drinking water and the use in the kitchen. It is advised to use the filled water until the situation is defused and the supply can be classified as safe again.

This development not only has an impact on the residents, but also raises questions about infrastructure and resource protection in the region. It is of the utmost importance that the responsible bodies take measures as soon as possible to secure the quality of the water and to identify the source of pollution.

For more information and updates to the current situation, it is recommended to regularly consult the official communications from the Mühlviertel Fernwasserverband and other responsible authorities.
