Klagenfurt drinking water still contaminated
In Klagenfurt, tap water still has to be boiled because it has been contaminated with bacteria. Supermarkets have also been emptied in the meantime.
After checks on Friday, as reported, revealed that the drinking water in Klagenfurt is contaminated with enterococcus bacteria, which can cause intestinal diseases, several supermarkets ran out of mineral water.
No all-clear yet
According to Stadtwerke boss Erwin Smole, the all-clear will probably not be given until Monday: "Then we'll get the lab results, but the water is not contaminated. You can brush your teeth and wash your hands as normal." These are only precautionary measures.
Anyone who does not have access to water over the weekend can collect some from the Stadtwerke office in Kraßniggstraße (12 - 6 pm); on Sunday in the courtyard of the Stadtwerke Klagenfurt AG headquarters at St. Veiter Straße 31 (from 9 am to 3 pm).
The cause of the contamination could be excavation work and a damaged sewage pipe.
