Alzette polluted since Saturday morningEmergency response underway as cause remains unknown
Since Saturday morning, the Alzette river has been affected by pollution, prompting a response from emergency teams. The fire brigade received an alert at 9.30am, mobilising efforts to address the issue.
While the pollution originated at the sewage treatment plant in Schifflange, officials from the Grand Ducal Fire and Rescue Corps (CGDIS) clarified to our colleagues at RTL.lu that the plant itself is not the source of the contamination.
