Sequencing results due late Tuesday will guide the decision on lifting the notice.

  • The precaution applies across the Stadtwerke Dachau supply area, including Dachau, parts of Bergkirchen and specified streets in Karlsfeld.
  • Follow-up sampling on Friday and Monday and extensive flushing along Münchener Straße were conducted to cleanse the network.
  • A replaced hydrant at Unterer Markt remains a working suspicion, yet no causal link has been verified.
