Mersch is currently facing issues with its drinking water supply. The municipality has issued a warning affecting all residents.

As a precautionary measure, residents are advised to boil tap water for ten minutes before using it for drinking, cooking, or washing up. Additionally, tap water should not be used to wash raw fruits and vegetables or to make ice.

The contamination was identified in the main water reservoir of the municipality, though the exact cause of the bacterial presence is still under investigation. Authorities anticipate that the problem may persist for several days, with water quality expected to improve within the next week.
