The water traffic light has turned yellow!
SWK is calling for people to use water sparingly.

SWK’s water traffic light provides early warning of the status of the drinking water supply. It will turn yellow on 26 June! The flow from the Lauterspring spring, the groundwater and the water treatment process are not yet causing any problems. However, water consumption is currently at its annual peak, at 30,000 m³ per day. The ongoing heatwave is expected to lead to further peaks in consumption, which is why SWK is asking people to use drinking water sparingly.
