The fire at a waste processing company in Oostnieuwkerke, which broke out on Friday evening, has since been completely extinguished. The re -extinguishing lasted 6 hours until Monday morning. In the meantime, there are new guidelines on the use of the water in the area.
Water activity is again permitted on the Roeselare-Leie canal. Restrictions still apply to the Mandel River. Steels show that there is still exceeding the environmental quality standards due to extinguishing water that ended up in the water.
