Dirty water discharged from construction site: Massive fish deaths. Residents raised the alarm last week because of “milky water” in the Trehenseegraben.

The Starnberg fire brigade flushed and diluted the dirty gutter with two water cannons. But it couldn't prevent the massive fish die-off. Even a week later, the water in the ditch is still somewhat cloudy in one area. “Incorrect construction water management by a private developer” led to fish deaths, wrote district office spokeswoman Barbara Beck.
