Hughenden residents rely on bottled water as Queensland's water infrastructure reaches crisis point
Einwohner von Hughenden, Queensland, Australien, sind gezwungen, Flaschenwasser zu kaufen, da ihr Leitungswasser aufgrund veralteter Infrastruktur, einschließlich alter Bohrlöcher, verfärbt ist, schlecht riecht und ekelhaft schmeckt. Familien geben wöchentlich über 50 Dollar für Wasser aus, da der Zustand des Leitungswassers die Menschen davon abhält, es zu trinken oder es sogar in Cafés zu verwenden.

Nitrat im Trinkwasser: Antrag für Wasserschutzgebiet Bellersheim diskutiert

Aktuell wird das Wasser durch Verschneidung auf 40 mg/l begrenzt, da hohe Nitratwerte eine potenzielle Gefahr für Säuglinge darstellen.
