Nitrat im Trinkwasser: Antrag für Wasserschutzgebiet Bellersheim diskutiert

Die Fraktion Bündnis 90/Die Grünen hat beantragt, ein Wasserschutzgebiet rund um den Trinkwasserbrunnen in Hungen-Bellersheim einzurichten. Grund sind Nitratwerte, die seit Jahren um den EU-Grenzwert von 50 mg/l liegen und diesen zeitweise überschritten haben. Aktuell wird das Wasser durch Verschneidung auf 40 mg/l begrenzt, da hohe Nitratwerte eine potenzielle Gefahr für Säuglinge darstellen.
