Wasserrohrbruch sorgt in der Stadt Varel für trübes Leitungswasser

In Varel kam es am Donnerstagvormittag im Kreuzungsbereich Arngaster Straße Ecke Jadestraße zu einem Wasserrohrbruch bei Kanalarbeiten. Dies führt im umliegenden Bereich zu vorübergehend bräunlich getrübtem Leitungswasser aufgrund gelöster Eisen- und Manganablagerungen. Die EWE Netz empfiehlt betroffenen Anliegern, das kalte Wasser laufen zu lassen, bis es wieder klar ist; eine Gesundheitsgefährdung besteht nicht.
