Abkochgebot in Bad Staffelstein: Landratsamt gibt klare Anweisungen

In Bad Staffelstein, specifically in the district of Stublang, residents are facing a new challenge as authorities have issued a boil water notice. This notice comes in response to the discovery of microbial contamination in the drinking water during a routine inspection conducted by the Lichtenfels District Office on Thursday, June 27, 2024. As a precautionary measure, residents of Stublang are now required to boil their tap water before using it for any purpose.

It is essential for residents to adhere to the boil water notice for tasks such as cooking, brushing teeth, and cleaning open wounds, as clarified by the District Office. Boiled water should be brought to a rolling boil and then allowed to cool slowly for at least ten minutes. To simplify this process, the use of an electric kettle is recommended.

While the boiled water must be used for certain activities, such as those mentioned above, it is deemed safe to use tap water for activities like showering, bathing, washing dishes, laundry, and flushing toilets. The boil water notice will remain in effect until the results of subsequent bacterial tests confirm the water is safe for consumption, a process that typically takes between six to ten days.

The responsibility for informing affected consumers and implementing necessary measures lies with the water supplier, in this case, the city of Bad Staffelstein. For more news and updates on the situation in Lichtenfels and its surroundings, readers are encouraged to visit our local news section.
