“The Regional Health Agency (ARS) and Atlantic'eau
(the public water service in Loire-Atlantique, editor's note)
inform you of the return to a compliant situation for drinking water.
According to the regulations, it can now be consumed by all”
, is it written in a press release.
An evolution linked to the recommissioning of the Mazerolles plant which again makes it possible to dilute this water with that produced in Nort-sur-Erdre which has a
“high nitrate content”
.
Bottled water provided
Since January 13, tap water was not recommended for pregnant women and infants by Atlantic'eau and the ARS of Pays de la Loire.
The fault of a
“technical incident”
which had generated water
“at the limit of the quality standard for the Nitrates parameter
”.
It was an
“increase in the manganese level”
which forced Atlantic'eau to
“temporarily”
shut down the Mazerolles plant.
Time to solve the problem,
"bottled water"
was
"made available"
to pregnant women and families with infants.
