Gesundheitsamt spricht Abkochgebot für Trinkwasser in Wolkshausen aus

Das Gesundheitsamt Würzburg hat am 14. August 2026 ein Abkochgebot für das Trinkwasser im Ortsteil Wolkshausen der Gemeinde Gaukönigshofen ausgesprochen. Ursache ist der Nachweis einer bakteriologischen Verunreinigung mit Enterokokken (1 KBE, Grenzwert 0 KBE) bei einer Routinekontrolle. Betroffene müssen das Wasser vor dem Trinken und zur Zubereitung von Speisen sprudelnd aufkochen und langsam abkühlen lassen; der Versorger arbeitet an der Ursachenforschung. Update (Gemeinde Gaukönigshofen, 28.08.2026, 09:25): Das Wasser muss einmalig sprudelnd aufgekocht werden und das Abkochgebot gilt nun auch explizit für die Hygiene.
