Above all, do not drink tap water, implores the Normandy Regional Health Agency in a press release, for the inhabitants of around fifteen municipalities, in the Longueville sector of the Terroir de Caux Community of Communes, and in part of the urban community of the Dieppe region, reports France Bleu Normandie. Around 4,220 residents are affected by unclean water, due to contamination of a water network. According to the ARS, it is prohibited to use drinking water for “food use, drinking, washing teeth, washing infants, preparing food, and making ice.” »
This degradation is due to particles of clay and silt coming from land erosion following heavy rainfall. “This phenomenon may be associated with a risk of microbial contamination,” writes the ARS, which specifies that communities and operators have made bottled water available after informing residents. Measures have been taken for a rapid return to a normal situation.
