For good reason, shortly before, the rupture of a drinking water pipe with a very large water leak occurred on rue de Nancy in Sarralbe, requiring the intervention of firefighters, from the Saur company in in charge of the water network and technical services of the town of Sarralbe. Although initially the water could be cut off, the extent of the water leak emptied the reserves at the level of the water tower, impacting the town and its annexes, but also several neighboring communities including Willerwald, Kappelkinger, Hilsprich or even Morsbronn.

Pressure restored around 10 p.m.
The pressure and return of water could only be achieved gradually across the entire network, while the technicians carried out the work on rue de Nancy and rue des Charentes in Sarralbe. Firstly with the intervention of an excavator, the work notably required the replacement of a large section of water pipe, involving several hours of work. It was only around 10 p.m. and the end of the installation of the new pipe, once the pressure was restored, that the water network gradually returned to normal in the town of Sarralbe. During the night, neighboring communities did not yet have a normal restoration of the water network, due to the time needed for the pipes to fill. An incident which therefore mobilized the intervention teams throughout the day.
Sunday morning, some neighboring communities were still without drinking water. But it gradually recovered during the morning.
