Urgent warning: Drinking water in Irlach must be boiled!

The water supply system in Irlach recently issued an important notice for all households. It has been determined that drinking water in the region is no longer safe and must therefore be boiled before use.

The municipality of Tiefenbach, which is responsible for the water supply, issued this warning after bacteria were discovered in the water during a routine test. In particular, enterococci were detected, indicating possible contamination. These bacteria can pose health risks, which is why the municipality is taking immediate action.

Important information for residents

All citizens connected to the Irlach water supply system should definitely boil the water before drinking. The recommendation is to bring the water to a rolling boil for at least 10 minutes to ensure that any potential germs are killed. This is a simple but effective way to ensure drinking water safety.

The municipality has assured that it will inform residents immediately as soon as the drinking water quality returns to the required standards. Until then, it is important to take precautions seriously and not consume the water without boiling it first.

The situation shows how important regular water quality controls are to protect the health of the population. The community of Tiefenbach will continue to work closely with the responsible authorities to resolve the problems as quickly as possible and restore the drinking water supply.
