Inundation - Potential health risks: Kressbronner must heat up their drinking water.
The heavy rain and flooding have caused some complications in the Haslach Joint Water Association's supply area. In one of their high-pressure tanks, which feeds into the network, a small amount of bacteria was found. Despite this, all other samples taken from the water supply have come back negative, and there is no need to add additional chlorine to the water. The potential presence of bacteria means that the Bodenseekreis District Office has issued a boil water notice.
This means that the water should be used solely for boiling purposes—drinking, washing vegetables, rinsing, cooking, or cleaning your teeth. Residents can use an online map to see if their homes are situated in the region affected by the possible bacteria.
