Swimming ban lifted in Saltendorf: swimming allowed again!
The city administration of Teublitz has good news for all bathing enthusiasts: the bathing ban at the Saltendorf bathing area has been lifted. This was confirmed by a statement from the SGS laboratory in Weiden, which examined the water quality. From now on, visitors can jump into the water without any worries and enjoy the warm days.
The current test results show that although there are small amounts of coli bacteria and traces of blue-green algae in the water, these are well below the limits recommended by the Federal Environment Agency for safe swimming. This means that the water in the swimming area is once again classified as safe for swimming. However, it is advised not to drink the water in large quantities to avoid possible health risks.
Background to the bathing ban
The bathing ban was originally imposed due to suspicion of blue-green algae formation. This algae can cause health problems such as nausea, skin irritation or even difficulty breathing. To ensure the safety of bathers, swimming was prohibited as a precaution until the water quality could be checked.
With the results now available, citizens and visitors to the Saltendorf bathing area can swim again without worry. The complete test results are available online and can be viewed by those interested. For anyone who would like to find out more about the bathing areas in Teublitz and Saltendorf, there is also further information on the municipal website.
