Yorkshire Water puts Dales villages on ‘boil notice’ after bacteria issue at reservoir
Yorkshire Water hat eine Abkochverfügung für 133 Haushalte in den Postleitzahlbereichen BD23 5JR, BD23 5JE, BD23 5JA, BD23 5JU, BD23 5JX, BD23 5JS, BD23 5HY und BD23 5HZ, darunter Buckden, Oughtershaw und Hubberholme, erlassen. Dies geschieht vorsorglich, nachdem routinemäßige Proben am Starbotton-Stausee in Upper Wharfedale eine bakterielle Verunreinigung zeigten, die die üblichen Standards nicht erfüllte. Die Bewohner müssen Trinkwasser abkochen; für Kunden im Priority Services Register wurde Flaschenwasser geliefert.
