Boil-Water Order Persists in Dachau as Tests Improve While Wiesbaden Lifts Advisory

Authorities will lift restrictions only after additional negative results plus sequencing confirm safety.

Overview

  • Stadtwerke Dachau report a marked decline in coliforms in new samples from the Münchener Straße area, yet the precaution remains in place across all listed service areas.
  • Crews flushed the network and replaced a hydrant at Unterer Markt, which is viewed as a possible but unconfirmed source of the contamination.
  • Laboratory sequencing of the detected bacteria is in progress with analyses expected in roughly 24–48 hours, and the health office has received no illness reports.
  • Local stores in Dachau have seen tight supplies of low-cost bottled water as residents follow guidance to boil tap water for drinking, food preparation, and oral hygiene.
  • In Wiesbaden, the boil notice was lifted after three consecutive clean tests, and business groups criticized the city’s communication as too vague during the precaution.
