Cloudy drinking water in the Uelzen district: How to solve the problem!

In the Uelzen district, there are currently temporary cloudings of drinking water. The network operator Celle-Uelzen Netz informs that these problems are caused by the fire brigade hydrant tests, which are necessary to ensure extinguishing water supply. During these function tests, deposits, especially iron and rare manganese, can be detached from the water pipes. According to the experts, these substances are harmless.

To get the water clear again, those responsible recommend simply running the tap. Those affected should also clean their water filter to remove possible residues. More information about this situation and the backgrounds can be found in an article at www.ndr.de .
