Supplier Eins is still unable to give the all-clear when it comes to germ contamination in the drinking water in Chemnitz. There is still "no permanently stable, germ-free result in the samples", the company states on its website. It is also still unclear how the bacterium "Serratia fonticola" got into the drinking water network. The investigation into the cause is ongoing.
The environmental germ was discovered during inspections at the beginning of July. The supplier then flushed and disinfected its pipe network on a daily basis. This has improved the situation - but not until the all-clear has been given.
