Environmental sinner in St. Blasien: Farbreste contaminate the Alb!

On Monday, February 10, 2025, there was an environmentally harmful campaign in St. Blasien: Unknowns presumably disposed of several liters of paint residues in a street gulli, which the Alb contaminated. An attentive witness noticed the discolored water and alerted the police. The examination showed that the wastewater pipe of the Gullis leads directly into the Alb, which caused the dangerous color material to get into the river.

The fire brigade was immediately informed and was able to remove a water sample. However, there is currently an all -clear - according to the authorities, there is no further impairment of the water. The police in Bad Säckingen are now investigating and is urgently looking for witnesses who can provide information about the cause. Anyone who has seen something should contact 07761 934-0.
