The Zittau municipal utility company is renewing the drinking water pipe in Görlitz, recommends supplies, and the quality remains hygienically perfect.
Water supply in Zittau: Drinking water precautions are strongly recommended!
The municipal utilities in Zittau are busy again! An approximately 550 meter long section of the main drinking water pipe in Sachsenstrasse and Kantstrasse is currently being replaced. This measure is intended to ensure long-term security of supply for the residents. Loud Sächsischen.de On Saturday, August 16th, the new pipe section will be comprehensively integrated into the existing drinking water network. The work is expected to last from 4 a.m. to around 10 p.m.
However, citizens of Zittau should be prepared for restrictions: lack of pressure and interruptions in the water supply are to be expected, especially during peak consumption times. Households in the Oybin zone, where water pressure may be reduced, are particularly affected. At higher extraction points there could even be a complete interruption at times. A ray of hope: The drinking water quality remains hygienic, as the municipal utilities are prophylactically disinfecting the affected pipe section from Wednesday to August 18th in order to avoid possible problems.
Suspicious smell of chlorine and precautionary measures
A small disadvantage of these disinfection measures is that the water may have a slight smell of chlorine during and after the work. That's why the municipal utilities strongly recommend that you create a supply of drinking water - it's better to be on the safe side! Every Zittau resident should take this into account.
Tomato sandwiches for a summer snack
Health tip: Grounding for well-being
Another exciting point that shouldn't be missed in summer is the idea of grounding - or earthing, which deals with direct contact with the earth. Studies show that standing on the floor or using grounded products can help reduce inflammation, relieve stress, and even improve sleep quality, like WebMD reported. Practical products for this include special mats or socks. Daily grounding can have positive effects on the cardiovascular system and should be practiced for at least 10 to 20 minutes per day. So if you want to leave the stress behind you in the city, you should perhaps just go barefoot into the countryside. A small step for well-being!
Zittau is alive! Even though the water supply may be somewhat limited at the moment, there are all sorts of other great ways to enjoy the summer - whether with a delicious tomato sandwich or relaxing in nature.
