After an unusual dry spell, followed by recent rains in an area affected by a fire this summer, the composition of water from the Eupen lake has changed. This situation is causing a more marked chlorine odor.
The Walloon Water Company (SWDE), which is closely monitoring the situation, has conducted various analyses. It confirms that the water remains potable and consumable.
This situation is expected to stabilize in the coming hours or days.
Some advice is offered to residents: let the water run for a few moments before consuming it, aerate the water, or keep it cool in a carafe.
