The water should also not be used for preparing meals - such as washing salads - or cleaning food containers at present, according to an appeal to the population.

The public fountains are not affected. This water can be used without hesitation. Mineral water should also be used or tap water should be boiled. The appeal is valid until revoked by the local water supply company.

The municipality is in contact with the cantonal laboratory, according to a press release.
