In May 2014, the authorities of the two parts of the island had inaugurated the connection of the two drinking water networks. A valve had been installed to be opened "in the event of a major crisis" when one of the two sides needed water.
Why then would this valve - if it is still in good condition - not be opened today in the middle of a health crisis in the French part?
Asked about the use of this valve, the president of the COM explained that it was not possible to ask Gebe to supply Oyster Pond because he does not have the guarantee that the water of the Dutch part is complies with health standards imposed in France. However, as the law requires, it must be.
However, the ARS is not convinced that using the neighboring network is a solution in the current situation. "Even if Gebe's water is in conformity with the exit from the factory, there is no evidence that it would also be in the pipes," said the director. As a reminder, in the French part, bromate pollution is formed in the pipes and not during production, and it seems to increase with transport time. (Photo of illustration.
