St. Patrick's joke?
Automatically saved design
Surprise on St. Patrick's Day: The Old Rhine was dyed green on Monday morning in Höchst (Vorarlberg). According to the police, the color is supposed to be harmless.
The people of Höchst were quite astonished. On Monday morning, the water of the Old Rhine near the dog sports ground turned a poisonous green. As the police reported, the river was examined by the relevant authorities. The result: The all-clear could be given, as the green color is the dye uranine, which is used for leak testing and water marking and is considered completely harmless.
The water industry and other relevant authorities were informed of the incidents. An analysis of the samples taken was not considered necessary after viewing the images. The dye decomposes within a few days when exposed to sunlight, so no long-term effects on the waters are to be expected.
It is unclear who dyed the river in this way and why. As March 17th is St. Patrick's Day, a follower of the Irish tradition of wearing green on this day could have been joking. It is also conceivable that there is a connection with the municipal elections on Sunday, as the Green mayor Stefan Überhör was re-elected in Höchst.
