Pipe damage in Lütgenade and Warbsen: No water today!
An unexpected pipe damage left numerous households in the Lütgenade and Warbsen districts of Cologne without water today. Residents of the affected areas must be prepared for the water supply to remain interrupted until further notice, as [meine-onlinezeitung.de](https://meine-onlinezeitung.de/region-aktiv/44589-rohr damage-luetgenade-und-warbsen-aktuell-ohne-wasser) reports.
The cause of the damage is currently unclear, but we are working hard to fix the problem. City utilities are already on site to make the necessary repairs. Affected citizens are asked to be patient until the damage is repaired and water supply can be restored.
Damage and interruptions
Families with small children who now have to do without water sources in their own home are particularly affected. The city recommends that citizens obtain water from other sources until the situation returns to normal. As residents report, the water supply is essential for everyday life and a failure causes many inconveniences.
The technicians work around the clock to complete the repair as efficiently as possible. Initial estimates suggest that power could be restored in the coming hours if the repairs can be carried out without any problems.
In the meantime, the city administration advises using all available water reserves and using them sparingly. In addition, all citizens should follow the announced information closely over the next few hours to stay up to date on the status of the work.
The legal framework and data protection
But it's not just the water pipes that are causing discussions in the city - the handling of cookies and data protection is also a current topic that concerns citizens. Among other things, the law regulating data protection relates to the use of cookies on websites. The baden-wuerttemberg.datenschutz.de explains that not every website necessarily requires a cookie or consent banner. For crucially necessary cookies that are essential for the operation of a website, no separate consent needs to be obtained.
This means that users on websites can be sure that the processing of their data is protected, at least in technically necessary aspects. However, it is important to pay attention to the information on consent and the use of personal data to avoid misuse.
If external content is integrated - be it through social media buttons or via map services - it should only be integrated with a two-click solution to protect user privacy. There are clear guidelines for this that are constantly checked by the supervisory authorities, as datenschutz.rlp.de explains.
In this regard, it is important that users are aware of their rights and actively decide what information they want to share. Transparency around cookies and their use is crucial to creating a safe digital environment.
