The factories are open not only in the city center but throughout the region Ile de France along the course of the Seine; In complete term they should be about thirty. The prefect of the Marc Guillaume Region ensures that the quality of the water is exceptional, and that many purification works have been undertaken since last summer: “We check two bacteria, the Escherichia coli and the Enterocco, the first is ten times below the allowed threshold, the other over 25 times lower”.
