Details:
People who live south of the sewage treatment plant and draw their water from the river
should check that their water treatment systems are functioning properly.
Residents are advised to ensure their wells are safe
by testing regularly and using a method of disinfection prior to drinking, especially during flooding periods.
Water from flooded wells can be treated and made safe for drinking by rapidly boiling the water for at least one minute
or by adding two drops of household bleach per one liter of water, stirring, and allowing the water to sit for 30 minutes before use.
