Update water leak Ardo (6 p.m.) with colleague Jeroen Sap:…

Jeroen is standing at a stricken house in Bosstraat. The worst of the acute emergency there is behind us, he notes: “If you look behind me, you see that the water has already dropped about fifty meters. It was up to where I am standing here now. This afternoon at the highest point. What remains is already a lot of mud. In this house the water was half a meter high. That is a real disaster. Everything is destroyed there, you could say. The water is now receding, slowly but surely also in the direction of the Ceynsmolenstraat, but no houses there are threatened. About a meter of that water still needs to drain, so that will take a few more hours.
