After flooding in Upper Austria: Cooking for Vöcklabrucker communities

In the past few weeks, floods in Upper Austria have become an important problem. Many municipalities, including two in the Vöcklabruck district, have to check their drinking water supply due to contamination. These circumstances force the residents to handle their water more carefully because the contamination could bash health risks.

The authorities have issued guidelines that advise the residents to continue to boil their drinking water. This is a precaution to avoid possible health risks that can arise from bacteria and other pollutants in the water. The flood, which hit the region about three weeks ago, not only affected drinking water, but also caused damage to infrastructure and property.

The affected communities in the Vöcklabruck district work closely with the responsible water suppliers and health authorities in order to carry out the water tests and continuously monitor the quality of the drinking water. This requires additional resources and time to ensure that the water can be consumed safely again. Until then, the citizens have no choice but to follow the precautionary measures.

Boiling the water is necessary because it represents a simple and effective method to kill most of the pathogens. The local authorities who fall back on the information from the health authority are responsible for this decision. This procedure could continue for several weeks while the tests are running and the situation is evaluated.
