🚱 OPENBARE KENNISGEWING: Watergehalte-bekommernisse in Haarlem en Proteaville
📅 Uitgereik deur George Munisipaliteit, 15 April 2025
Die Munisipaliteit is bewus van die volgende waterverwante bekommernisse:
🔹 Reukprobleme in die watervoorsiening in Haarlem
🔹 Bruin verkleuring van die water in die Proteaville-gebied
💧 Hierdie probleme is weens onlangse reënval, wat die toestande in die Haarlemdam verander het en die gehalte van die rou water beïnvloed het. Dit het gelei tot ongewone reuke in die toevoer.
🧪 Stappe wat geneem word:
Die Munisipaliteit maak tans chemiese aanpassings by die behandelingsaanleg om die probleem op te los.
⚠️ BELANGRIKE KENNISGEWING AAN INWONERS:
