“Normally, the tap water at your home consists of a mixture of our tap water and tap water that we purchase from another water company. After research, we now know that the odor and taste reports are related to the water we purchase. We have adjusted our water supply so that for the time being you only receive our tap water. The smell and taste of your water may be a little different for a few days.”
Exact cause is under investigation
The exact cause of the changes in smell and taste is currently being further investigated. De Watergroep is currently carrying out various analyzes and samples. The most recent measurements do not indicate any quality deviations. “We will monitor the water quality very closely in the coming days. Until we are 100% sure what was going on, the residents of Menen and Wervik will only continue to receive water from our own water production centers for the time being.”
