💨 Abstract

In Chemnitz, east Germany, over 245,000 people were advised against drinking tap water due to coliform bacteria contamination. Residents, particularly those with weakened immune systems, are urged to boil tap water for drinking, brushing teeth, or rinsing produce to avoid potential infections. The water company, eins energie, is taking measures to identify and eliminate the contamination source, emphasizing that current assessments indicate these actions will take several days.
